PM: What will your duties be in the new position? Will you be performing some of your previous responsibilities, or will the executive vice president position be filled?
PB: My primary duties as president/CEO are to advocate the viability, visibility and credibility of our members, the industry and the medium, and to lead a vibrant and progressive trade association. Everything else we do supports those efforts. How the actual day-to-day duties shake out is yet to be determined. We have an incredibly talented and dedicated staff to call on, but I haven't given myself a deadline to back-fill any positions or create new ones. I continue to be positively impressed by the people and the professionalism at PPAI. The team here has an unsurpassed collection of skills and strengths. My objective will be to leverage this capability and competence, and match the resources to the short- and long-term challenges and opportunities we identify as priorities.
