The Association of American Publishers (AAP) has announced that its Directors have unanimously elected Brian Napack as Chairman of the Board, effective September 25, 2020. Napack, President and CEO of John Wiley & Sons, has been AAP’s Vice Chairman since the beginning of the year, and a Board member since 2017.
Napack succeeds John Sargent, who resigned as AAP’s Board Chairman on September 17, 2020 in conjunction with stepping away from Macmillan Publishers. Sargent gave more than twenty years of exceptional service to AAP, nearly thirteen of them as an officer.
In other recent changes, incoming CEO Don Weisberg has stepped onto the Board for Macmillan Publishers. Jonathan Karp, President and CEO of Simon & Schuster, has replaced Carolyn Reidy, following her untimely death. And Julia Reidhead, Chairman and President of W.W. Norton & Company, has joined the Board after being voted into an at-large seat by AAP’s membership in June 2020.
