SSP and NSSTA 2010 Annual Meetings - 3

By Patrick Hindert

Among several headlines resulting from the SSP and NSSTA 2010 Annual Meetings, leadership changes are the most important.

The National Structured Settlement Trade Association (NSSTA) re-introduced its lobbyist, Eric Vaughn, as NSSTA's new Executive Director effective July 1, 2010. Vaughn follows Joseph Ricci of Smith Bucklin who succeeded Randy Dyer in 2008. NSSTA also named Peter Arnold, formerly NSSTA's marketing consultant, as Associate Executive Director. Hogan & Hartson (now Hogan Lovells) continues as NSSTA's legal counsel with Craig Ulman and John Stanton serving as primary legal advisers.

NSSTA elected five new members to its Board of Directors and introduced Michael Kelly as NSSTA's new President. The newly-elected NSSTA Directors are:

• Joseph Barnett
• Len Blonder
• Randy Dyer
• James Ebel
• John Machir

The Society of Settlement Planners (SSP) named Jason Lazarus as its President for 2010-2011 and Charles Schell as Vice President.
