The company benefitted greatly from her thoughtful counsel and leadership serving on the Audit Committee and as Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and we wish her well.”

Chieh Huang is looking forward to the challenges that his new role brings: “I am delighted to join the Six Flags’ Board of Directors. As a lifelong fan of the Six Flags brand, the team’s vision to use technology to enhance the guest experience and become more efficient could not be more exciting for me.
