Drugan to Leave NEBA

-- Publishers Weekly, 8/14/2006

Due to illness, Rusty Drugan is stepping down as executive director of the New England Booksellers Association, a position he has held since 1992. In an e-mail announcement to the NEBA membership, board president Allan Schmid, owner of Books, Etc., in Portland and Falmouth, Me., said that Drugan would stay on until a successor is named. He did not name a date, but anticipated that it would be some time after next month's annual trade show. The board is currently setting up a search committee.
