New ED For NAFB

Chuck Zimmerman

National Association of Farm BroadcastersThe National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) officially announced their new Executive Vice President today. He’s Bill O’Neill. I think it’s very interesting to see a broadcast organization (that I’ve long belonged to) hire a “print” person. There are certainly challenges ahead for NAFB and maybe Bill can bring some new ideas to the organization to help them out! Look for an interview with Bill here as soon as I can get in touch with him. Gene, good job in the interim. I agree with Emery.
