CAG changes Presidents

jfox015 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:05:03 +0000

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.

I heard last week that longtime CAG member and independent comics icon Rusty Haller passed away. I did not meet nor know Rusty but I know his reputation withing the amateur comics industry, He was well know and well liked and I along with the rest of the CAG and amateur comics community are saddened by his passing.

The sad message from the CAG’s Sue Soares read:

On behalf of the leadership team, it is with sad hearts that we share with you the passing of longtime CAG member, Rusty Haller. Rusty passed away peacefully in his sleep last evening.

We do not have any information yet on arrangements. Once we do, we will share it with you all.

Rusty has been a loyal CAG member for many years and a talented cartoonist. His contribution to our group and the industry will always be in our memories and our hearts.

Membership Coordinator

Rest in peace, Rusty.
