Bisa has been elevated to the position after the retirement of Queensland's Ken Laffey and steps into the job after overseeing a major period of change in Canberra.
"As a lifelong tennis lover and father to two budding junior players, I have a deep and multi-layered connection with the game," Bisa said.
"In my time on the ACT board, we have opened a new premier tennis facility which consistently showcases all levels of tennis.
"Through well thought out and executed strategies, we've secured the financial future of the organisation and built a platform that allows us to expand our tennis footprint into the future. I look forward to bringing this experience to the Tennis Australia board."
Tennis Australia chair Jayne Hrdlicka said: "I'm delighted to welcome Dan to our board.
"During his seven years on the Tennis ACT board, the landscape of the sport has changed significantly in the ACT with the opening of the $10.5 million redevelopment of the Canberra Tennis Centre and installation of the innovative online booking and payment program at 21 venues.
"These changes in the ACT have led to increased participation and an expanded events schedule.
"Dan will be a great addition to our team with more than 20 years' experience in the hospitality and property development industries along with his extensive knowledge of tennis participation and pathway strategies."
Bisa joins Hrdlicka, Graham Bradley, Diane Grady, Greg Hutchinson, Elizabeth Minogue, Peter Robertson and Janice van Reyk on the board.
