Global recruiting network the NPA has appointed Dave Nerz to president.

Nerz, who joined the NPA in 2006 as executive vice president, will be responsible for network operations and oversight, membership growth, and focusing on increased profit for NPA members.

Manny Rao, chairman of NPA’s board of directors, says: “His leadership has enabled the board of directors to think strategically vs. operationally. Under Dave’s guidance, the projects in process now will assure the growth and stability of NPA for years to come. He has my complete confidence and support, as well as that of the board of directors.”
