WASHINGTON – The National Confectioners Association has added two new staff members: Steve McCroddan as chief financial officer, and Kyle Jordan as vice president of membership & meetings.

McCroddan brings more than 20 years of association experience to his new role at NCA.

McCroddan will bring his deep experience and perspective to NCA’s financial and organizational strategy, focusing on financial strength to enable key initiatives and strategies in the implementation of its strategic plan, Thrive in 2025.

Jordan joins NCA from the Financial Planning Association, where he served as the Managing Director of Learning and Conferences. In his role leading NCA’s membership & meetings team, he will liaise with NCA’s member companies and build on NCA’s established legacy of world-class confectionery industry events.

“We’re thrilled to have Steve and Kyle on the NCA team as we work to achieve our new mission, bold vision and dynamic set of strategic objectives,” said NCA President & CEO John Downs. “Bringing these two new fresh perspectives to the association will ensure NCA’s financial future remains on solid footing and our member companies continue to remain enthusiastic, engaged and excited to be associated with NCA.”
