It’s a remarkable fact that since 1932 when the office was created, the NFTC has had just 7 presidents. (Prior to that time, Chairman James A. Farrell also served as de facto NFTC President.)http://www.nftc.org/?id=291

The NFTC President is the CEO and COO of the organization, directing the day to day activities of the staff in pursuit of the organization’s goals. He or she is also a member of the NFTC Board of Directors.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors convenes and chairs board meetings, setting goals and overall direction of the organization. The Chairman must be from an NFTC member company.
