Eichenbrenner, a Certified Association Executive (CAE) with a master's in business administration (MBA), has nearly 20 years of experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, advocacy, and health care, per a TMA press release.
"She brings a wealth of experience, skills, and passion to our organization and our mission," says David Mochel, MD, chair of TMA's board of directors.
"We are confident that she will lead TMA to new heights of success and service to our members and the myositis community."
Eichenbrenner comes to TMA from the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy Foundation, where she served as executive director since 2015.
