EVA Welcomes Patrick Anderson as Interim Executive Director

After 20 months of service as EVA’s first Executive Director, Chris Celek has departed the organization. We are grateful for Chris’s service and the work he helped advance during an important period of transition for EVA.

As we look ahead, the Board has determined that this is the right time to recalibrate how the national organization operates and prepare EVA for its next stage of development.

Patrick Anderson has stepped away from his position on EVA’s Board of Directors to serve as Interim Executive Director. Patrick, a retired Air Force veteran, brings a strong combination of technology expertise, community-building experience, public-sector leadership, and deep knowledge of the EV industry. He is a co-founder of the Mustang Mach-E Club of America and Ford EV Clubs, an EV content creator, and an experienced technology professional.

As Interim Executive Director, Patrick will oversee day-to-day national operations while helping develop EVA’s strategic plan, operating budget, sustainable funding strategy, and stronger support systems for chapters.
