From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 18:31:22 -0500 The Association of American Publishers today announced that former U.S. Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante will succeed Tom Allen as President and CEO. Pallante will officially begin on January 17. AAP said Allen would stay on to help with the transition until the end of January. http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/72477-aap-taps-maria-pallante-to-succeed-tom-allen.html Pallante was previously Register of Copyrights at the Library of Congress. Seems like a desirable hire for the AAP.
