NAB Board Pushing Unanimous Rehr Pick

A source close to the vetting process for a successor to National Association of Broadcasters President Eddie Fritts says that the board Friday was still working on getting a unanimous vote for its candidate, David Rehr, head of the National Beer Wholesalers Association, (NBWA) with one member still not signed on. Eddie Fritts, whose contract extends until April, remains atop the association he helped turn into a powerhouse. Rehr is the kind of Republican, K-Street connected lobbyist that GOP leadership had been pushing to fill association vacancies, suggesting that the party's influence in the town was not reflected in the leadership of the lobbies that needed to work with them. Apparently, Rehr also likes dogs and is really good at math.
