Natcast board chair, Jim Plummer, has decided to step back from Natcast to return to his other professional and academic work.  From the beginning, Jim played an important strategic and tactical role in getting Natcast incorporated and operational.  Jim led the most critical phase in the establishment of Natcast, which was the selection of an outstanding CEO.  We wish him well as he turns his focus to other areas, and we thank him for his service.  Robin Abrams, as Natcast Secretary, has agreed to serve as Interim Chair as the board looks to its next stage of development.
