CEO of Miss America Organization steps down
The Miss America Organization’s president and CEO, one of the forces behind the decision to drop the competition’s swimsuit portion, has stepped down, the organization announced.
Regina Hopper, who was among those behind the organization’s “2.0” rebranding effort, said she formally notified the board two weeks ago that she planned to return to a full-time job involving transportation. Hopper was formerly president and CEO of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America.
Board Chairwoman Shantel Krebs will replace Hopper on an interim basis while the board searches for a new president and CEO.
Hopper assumed leadership of Miss America in May 2018 as part of a series of changes that occurred after an email scandal in December 2017, which led to the ouster of the pageant’s mostly male leadership.
They were replaced by female leadership that included Hopper and former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson. Carlson stepped down as chairwoman in June.
