Nan Sorensen is joining the New England Booksellers Association as
assistant executive director, effective January 9. She has been sales
coordinator at Houghton Mifflin for the last five years and before that
was NEBA's assistant executive director for seven years. She had
earlier worked at Houghton Mifflin, David R. Godine, Publisher, the
Harvard Book Store and the Harvard Coop. She replaces Nancy Fish, who
held the spot for two and a half years (Shelf Awareness, December 6).
NEBA executive director Rusty Drugan said in a letter to members that Sorensen is excited about NEBA's strategic planning process and "believes she can contribute to achieving the goals that the Strategic Planning Committee will set for the association. . . . Nan's experience uniquely qualified her among the applicants to help bring about change in two important existing activities that the Committee has identified as needing it, the trade show and the catalog."
Drugan added that next year NEBA likely will hire a third person for the office.
