NTA looks for replacement for Simon

The National Tour Association (NTA) has appointed Catherine Prather as interim president following the resignation of Lisa Simon.

Simon resigned from the NTA after 28 years with the association, seven of them as president, saying she wanted a "new challenge".

The NTA said she will remain in her post until the end of the year, and Prather, who is NTA senior vice president, will fill in until a permanent replacement is found.
