NAB Executive Vice President for Television, Chuck Sherman, will leave that position to become the full-time president of the NAB Education Foundation and special assistant to NAB President Eddie Fritts.
As special assistant, Sherman will assist Fritts in long-range NAB strategic planning and other industry assignments.
Sherman will also continue overseeing NABEF initiatives.
Sherman joined NAB as head of the Television Department in 1988 after a broadcasting career that included stints as a general manager of WHOI-TV Peoria, Ill. and WTRF-TV Wheeling, W.V. He is a past president of the Broadcast Education Association.
Fritts said he will begin a search for Sherman’s successor as head of the NAB Television Department and he expects the position to be filled in time for the NAB Board meeting in June.
