The organization tells the Associated Press it is appointing Regina Hopper as president and CEO of the Miss America Organization, and Marjorie Vincent-Tripp as chairwoman of the board of the Miss America Foundation. The Miss America Organization announced it has installed women in the organization’s three top leadership posts following an email scandal last winter involving male leaders. The emails included one that used a vulgar term for female genitalia to refer to past Miss America winners, one that wished that a particular former Miss America had died and others that speculated about how many sex partners one former Miss America has had. Vincent-Tripp, who was Miss America 1991, formerly served on the Miss America Board of Trustees. Carlson, Miss America 1989, was named chairwoman of the Miss America board in January after the email scandal rocked the organization.
