Chernack reelected TEA president

The Themed Entertainment Association's nominations committee has announced that the TEA board of directors has unanimously approved Peter Chernack, CEO of Metavision Corp., as president of the Burbank, CA-based organization for a second year.

"Peter has taken the position that it is time to run the TEA as a business relative to its focus and mission," says nominations committee chair Monty Lunde. "The board of directors believe that Peter's current leadership direction and continuity are vital to the long-term success of the TEA."

In other TEA news, the fourth Annual THEA Awards Gala is being held September 13 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Lunde says a sell-out crowd of more than 500 is expected. "The winning entrants represent some of the most visible and highly themed entertainment projects in our industry. Plus there will be a few surprise winners," says show producer Ron Miziker.
