Dear NACBA Member,
I'm very pleased to announce that NACBA's Board of Directors has selected Brad Botes as NACBA's first full-time Executive Director, effective January 1, 2006. Brad has been a member of NACBA's board.

Brad brings a great deal of enthusiasm, as well as management and organizational expertise, to this new position, a position that NACBA has come to need, and, with our increased membership, can now afford.
Our expanded staffing, including Administrative Director Candace Lambrecht, as well as Jewell Allred, who will be Brad's assistant, will enhance the value of NACBA membership. I am confident that you will soon see the positive results of these changes, which will include upgrades to the NACBA listserv, making it more usable for those who might find it overwhelming in its current form, improvements in the NACBA website, and additional educational opportunities for our members.
Maureen Thompson will continue to work as part of our team, with the new title of Legislative Director. We expect that Maureen will now be able to broaden her activities to include more work with the media, and more work with members pursuing state legislative initiatives, in addition to her continued work on Capitol Hill. Watch for more details of some of these efforts in the months to come.
I know you will join me in welcoming Brad and Jewell to their new positions. We will be giving contact information in early January.
Sincerely,
Henry J. Sommer
NACBA President
