Sarah Durrant appointed Secretary General of the ASA

Sarah Durrant will take up the position of Secretary General of 
the Association of Subscription Agents and Intermediaries with 
effect from July 1, 2008.

Sarah brings a wealth of relevant experience to the ASA from her 
previous work with publishing companies and intermediaries. Sarah 
is well known in the industry not just for her consultancy work 
but also from her previous career with INASP, negotiating with 
publishers for country-wide access to online scholarly 
information on behalf of some of the world's poorest countries. 
Previously Sarah was Sales Manager at Ingenta and also worked in 
e-journals development and marketing for John Wiley & Sons and 
Academic Press.

Sarah will continue to run her successful consultancy - Red Sage 
Consulting - through which she undertakes research, sales and 
marketing, and business development projects for organisations 
within the scholarly information industry. Sarah is based in the 
UK and will work from her office in Suffolk. Sarah will be taking 
over from Rollo Turner, who has been the Secretary general for 
the last ten years. Rollo says "I am really glad Sarah has 
decided to take on this role as she will bring a wealth of new 
experience to the ASA as the industry enters another period of 
very rapid change. I wish her every success and I am sure the 
members will benefit from her keen insight, drive and 
enthusiasm."

Rollo will be leaving the ASA to pursue his own publishing 
interests in the field of motorcycling and will continue to take 
on the occasional consultancy role.
