NENA President Rick Galway recently announced that Immediate Past President Steve O’Conor has accepted a job in the private sector and, in accordance with NENA’s bylaws, resigned from the Executive Board. "On behalf of the Executive Board, I thank Steve for his exemplary service to NENA," said Galway. "He has been a valuable asset to the association for many years — first as a committee volunteer, then as a committee leader, and, most recently, on the Executive Board. I wish him the best in his new position and look forward to his continued involvement in other NENA activities." O’Conor will remain as Chair of the Publications Committee.

Article IV Section 2 of NENA’s bylaws states that, "[Executive Board] Officers may derive no more than 15% of their income from commercial activity connected in any way to the 9-1-1 industry." The position of Immediate Past President will remain vacant until June of 2012 when President Galway assumes that office.
