In her previous position, she was director of public relations for Hinds Community College in Raymond, Miss., and its six campuses in south-central Mississippi; she is finishing her master’s degree in marketing and communication at Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss.

As part of her duties, Morris will attend industry trade shows to help NTCA increase its social-media presence and hold press conferences.

In addition, NTCA hires Amber Fox as the new Five Star Program Director.  Fox, the daughter of Five Star Contactor member John Wirtz, will work out of the San Diego area, and will oversee the growth and development of the program.  

For the past several years, she has been an executive assistant to the president of a large electrical contracting firm, adding this experience to a strong knowledge of tile contracting.  She will work closely with the NTCA staff, as well as its Five Star Contractor members, to grow the NTCA program on all levels.
