After “many months of analysis and investigation,” American Booksellers Association ceo Oren Teicher announced a reorganization that includes the elimination of five jobs from an already lean staff. Teicher writes, “it’s never easy to say goodbye to hard-working, loyal colleagues, but we believe that these changes will allow us to organize ABA in a more efficient way to better utilize the association’s resources.”
Some ABA veterans are being placed in new posts: Meg Smith becomes membership and marketing officer; Dan Cullen is now content officer; Mark Nichols serves as industry relations officer, and Jill Perlstein is now meetings and plannings officer. COO Len Vlahos and cfo Eleanor Chang retain their current titles.
