    New Ed for GAMA chosen
    According to a press release, the GAMA Board of Directors chose a new executive director at its fall meeting on Nov. 13th and 14th. The board is currently in the process of crafting a job offer and contract, and will notify applicants of their status as soon as that offer is ready. A public announcement will be made after the offer has been accepted and the finalists have been informed of their outcome in the search.

    More than 280 exhibitors - almost 80 of them new - filled the show's 70,000 square feet of floor space in Rosemont, Ill.'s Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Oct. 16-20. Hobby retailers and distributors turned out in slightly higher numbers than in 2007.
