LeAnn Hostetler appointed as Financial Services Sector Chief for InfraGard Arizona Members Alliance

PAX Technology's LeAnn Hostetler has been appointed as the Financial Services Sector Chief for the InfraGard Arizona Members Alliance (IAMA), further solidifying the company’s commitment to payment security and critical infrastructure collaboration.

Hostetler, who serves as the Chief Security Compliance Officer for PAX North America, will hold this two-year volunteer position starting September 1, 2026, and ending August 31, 2028. She was chosen by the IAMA Board of Directors for her expertise and dedication to protecting Arizona's critical infrastructure.

In her new role, Hostetler will act as the primary liaison between IAMA members in the financial services sector, the IAMA Board, and its FBI and government partners, including the Department of Homeland Security. Her responsibilities include maintaining awareness of the evolving threat landscape, supporting the dissemination of unclassified threat information and sector advisories, and contributing to security programming, training, exercises, and incident-response preparedness.

Clint Jones, Chief Commercial Officer of PAX Technology, emphasized that the appointment underscores the company's broader commitment to payment security. "Security is fundamental to the payment technology and services we provide," Jones said. "But it also means contributing our experience and expertise to the broader industry. LeAnn's appointment reflects the high caliber of leadership within PAX and our ongoing commitment to supporting a secure and resilient payments ecosystem."

Hostetler's appointment builds on PAX Technology's existing involvement in payment security. She also represents the company on the PCI Security Standards Council’s 2025-2027 Board of Advisors, where she contributes to industry discussions on the continued development and implementation of global payment security standards. Together with PAX’s expanding portfolio of PCI-certified payment solutions, security infrastructure, and industry participation, these accomplishments demonstrate the company’s ongoing investment in protecting payments and supporting its customers and partners.

"I am honored to accept this appointment and contribute to the collaboration, awareness, and preparedness that help strengthen the financial services sector," Hostetler stated. "The threats facing our industry continue to evolve, making responsible information sharing and cooperation across the public and private sectors increasingly important. I look forward to bringing my experience to this role while continuing to advance PAX's commitment to payment security."

InfraGard Arizona Members Alliance is an FBI-affiliated nonprofit organization that fosters collaboration and information sharing among critical-infrastructure stakeholders.
