Zane is Vice President, Investor Relations, for TopBuild. She has served on the NIRI Board of Directors, the NIRI Ethics Council, as Co-Chair of the NIRI Annual Conference Committee, on several NIRI Investor Relations Charter™ credential committees, and as an officer and director for several NIRI chapters.

The NIRI Senior Roundtable Steering Committee defines and develops compelling and engaging experiences for SRT events, facilitates SRT networking, considers SRT membership applications, and works to broaden SRT awareness.
The SRT Steering Committee’s work culminates each year with the
SRT Annual Meeting
, which will take place at The Ritz Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, CA, December 4-6, 2019. The 2019 SRT Annual Meeting will be a particularly auspicious event as it will culminate a year in which NIRI celebrates both the 50
th
anniversary of NIRI’s founding, and the 25
th
anniversary of the SRT.
NIRI President and CEO, Gary A. LaBranche, FASAE, CAE, said, “I want to thank Idalia Rodriguez and Tabitha Zane for their continued commitment to the Senior Roundtable, and it is a privilege to welcome the new Steering Committee members. It is through the selfless contribution of our members’ volunteer time that the Senior Roundtable maintains its standard of excellence.”
LaBranche continued, “I want also to recognize the SRT Steering Committee members whose volunteer service is ending after having served diligently over their three-year terms: Sally Curley, IRC, Founder and CEO, Curley Global IR, LLC; Elizabeth M. Higashi, CFA, Vice President, Investor Relations, Herc Holdings Inc.; and Jane Okun Bomba, President, Saddle Ridge Consulting, LLC. I also thank Deb Wasser, IRC, Vice President of Investor Relations, Etsy, Inc., as she steps down from the Steering Committee in order to devote her efforts to the NIRI National Board of Directors and the New York chapter Board. And a special note of appreciation for Matthew Stroud, VP, Investor Relations, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, who served as 2018 Steering Committee Chair, and who has graciously agreed to continue his volunteer service for an additional year.”
