We are very excited to announce the new IPMS/USA Director of Social Media, Mrs. Eugenie Ray.

Eugenie has developed a unique skill set and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this new position. She spent 18 years leading content and knowledge management initiatives at Cisco Systems, including writing and editing content and managing the design and structure of over one thousand internal websites. She led the team that set design and content policy, but also documented structure and knowledge sharing.

Eugenie is  an administrator of several Facebook groups. She has experience in managing user bases, moderating posts and comments, and all advanced user/post statistics. She is proficient in the creation of YouTube videos, Instagram posts, working within other platforms available, and has the benefit of living in the very heart of the Silicon Valley with friends and colleagues who work at the very companies that create the social media platforms.

Apart from her professional, technical, and communication skillsets, Eugenie is a member of two IPMS/USA Chapters; the Silicon Valley Scale Modelers and the Fremont Hornets. She has attended four IPMS/USA National Conventions; Chattanooga, Las Vegas, Omaha, and San Marcos and attends the majority of the Region 8 and Region 9 local shows. Her modeling interests are diverse, as witnessed by her 2023 Nationals entry "Come and Take It: Challenge Accepted."

Eugenie is also a certified mediator, trained in Conflict Resolution Management at the Conflict Resolution Center in Santa Cruz, CA.

Please welcome Eugenie to this new role.
