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.

Pallante was previously Register of Copyrights at the Library of
Congress.  Seems like a desirable hire for the AAP.
