While Larry Graham, NCA president said: “Tim is a highly respected member of our community who brings a wealth of expertise, insights and innovative thinking to our event. We’re fortunate to have him chairing the 2014 Expo, which under his leadership, promises once again to be the best place for industry members to discover, learn and connect.”
