Kieth Murphy, longtime president and co-founder of the Comicbook Artists Guild (and lesser known as a former Small Press Idol judge) has officially resigned his post as the leader of the CAG. Hector Rodriguez has been named as the new President.
While Keith steps down from a leadership role he by no means plans to disappear. As Keith stated in his announcement:
This is not good-bye, as I will continue to go to meetings and be at social events for a long time to come. I’ll also be behind the scenes to help the group to continue to follow its mission.
In associated news, Lindsey Kraemer has also stepped down as the Convention Coordinator meaning that the convention group is without leadership. Waiting to see who is either chosen or steps up to take that post for the upcoming 2010 convention season.
