The American Philatelic Society Board of Directors has chosen Wade Saadi of New York City as its president. The election was held by the Society's board, under mandate from its bylaws, following the death of president Nick Carter.
Mr. Saadi is a successful---and several times honored---New York City businessman with a serious record of achievement within the ranks of philatelic leadership in the United States. Combined with an established record in the business and financial worlds, his background is particularly suited for the APS who, at this point in its history, needs to rely on such acumen. He is a former president of the Collectors Club of New York and is the current president of the U.S. Philatelic Classics Society.
The Society's new president leaves his role as chairman of the APS Board of Vice Presidents. He will be replaced on the Society's disciplinary triumvirate by Nick Lombardi.
