NAMIC CEO Turner-Lee Resigns

The National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications president and CEO Nicol Turner-Lee is resigning her position less than a week after being cleared of alleged financial and operational improprieties while running the organization.

Turner-Lee, who took over the reins of NAMIC in April 2012, is departing NAMIC “to pursue other opportunities." This past March, Turner-Lee was accused of alleged improprieties in an anonymous e-mail sent to cable trade publications and industry organizations supposedly representing NAMIC members. After conducting an organizational audit, the board last week cleared Turner-Lee of all charges. The organization said a succession plan will be announced at a later date, with the executive committee of the board of directors overseeing the association.
