| New Binc board members Calvin Crosby, Eileen Dengler and Sarah Bagby | |
The Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc) has added three members to its board:
Eileen Dengler, executive director of the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association for 20 years. Earlier she was director of meetings and conventions for the American Booksellers Association for 10 years and ran the annual ABA Convention before it became BookExpo America (and now BookExpo).
Sarah Bagby, owner of Watermark Books & Café, Wichita, Kan. She is also a former ABA board member, past president of the Midwest Independent Booksellers Association, a former member of the ABA Booksellers Advisory Council, and current member of the ABA's LIBRIS board.
Calvin Crosby, executive director of the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association. He was earlier a bookseller, sales and marketing director for McSweeney's and a longtime NCIBA board member.
At the same time, three members of the Binc board are stepping down: Anne Kubek, Wanda Jewell, and Deb Leonard. Binc thanked them for their "ceaseless passion for Binc's mission, thoughtful decision making to the governance process, and extraordinary dedication to Binc's mission of serving the needs of booksellers across the nation. Binc would like to thank them each for their commitment and for all the good work they accomplished while serving on Binc's board."
