Kelly Mayor, BS, MS, CMP, is currently the Director of Operations at the National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD), where she joined in June 2000 as a program associate. She started her professional career with NCSD directly out of college at West Virginia University where she obtained a bachelor of science degree in both speech pathology/audiology and communication studies in 1998 and a master of science degree in community health promotion in 2000. During graduate school she focused on sexually transmitted disease and HIV prevention and served as a campus peer educator while interning at the WVU Health Sciences Center. It was her interest in the field of sexual health that lead her to apply for the program associate position at NCSD where she is now responsible for the office administration, member services and meeting planning. Over the last 10 years at NCSD, Kelly has come to realize that she thoroughly enjoys meeting planning and in July of 2011 she became a Certified Meeting Professional through the Convention Industry Council.
