I have to agree with Jack Daniels regarding John Newman as the new APCO leader.  

 We would all love to see a die hard former cop, public safety techie-engineer-P-25-Motorola-Kenwood-EFJ and FCC rules and regulation expert at the helm of APCO.   Unfortunately,  in the 
" Association World"  it's all about member #'s and ( $$)sponsorships.

 Mr Newman's experience as VP of Matsushita... especially in the automotive division will bring more attention to car navigation systems, in vehicle multimedia systems and mobile data systems which is a very important arm of a public safety radio system.  One can only imagine his connections ( $$)  to increase sponsorships  (at a global level )  and deliver record number attendee's to an APCO conference. 

As Jack said .... it's the APCO board who always has and still runs the association. 
But.... like any other business....it needs constant injections of cash to survive.  No doubt that task will fall on the shoulders of Mr. Newman.
