The executive board will review the association’s strategic plan to ensure it addresses both current and anticipated industry issues, then establish a search committee that will work with recruiting firms to find qualified candidates, the NCA explains.

Chairman Mitchell Goetze says: “We want the transition to be orderly, well thought out and positive for the NCA membership and the staff. This is an important time in NCA history and it must be done carefully. Larry has done a great job and transformed the NCA during the past 20 years and we want to keep that momentum going.”
