Carrollton business owner Randall Chrisman is the new chairman of the DART Board of Directors. Chrisman, who has represented Carrollton and Irving since 2002, was elected vice chairman in 2007. He became chairman following the resignation of Lynn Flint Shaw of Dallas January 30.

Chrisman has been president of The Chrisman Company, a full service commercial real estate brokerage firm, since 1989. He was a member of the Carrollton Planning and Zoning Commission before joining the DART Board. He holds a BA degree from Oklahoma State University and a Commercial Broker License in Texas and Oklahoma.

Chrisman named Dallas member Robert W. Strauss vice chair, Irving member John Danish secretary and Dallas member Pamela Dunlop Gates assistant secretary. The officers will serve through the DART Fiscal Year, which ends in September.
