It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Ric Green will be leaving us as editor of the Observer. The first emotion is one of sadness as we have grown to love and respect his work here. The second emotion, however, is one of happiness for him. As the newly appointed CEO/President of the Chamber of Commerce for Pompano Beach, Ric will have the opportunity to use his enormous promotional and personality skills to help take that organization to its next level. As a native son of Pompano Beach, this is certainly a win-win for both Ric and the greater Pompano Beach area.
We at the Observer are fortunate to have a professor of Journalism, David Volz step in as our new editor. David has lived in South Florida since 1980 and with a masters degree in Communication from Fla. Atlantic University has taught in both Miami Dade and Broward, including Nova Colleges. In addition to teaching and writing, David devotes much of his time to his wife, Nancy. We look forward to receiving David’s leadership and guidance as we take the Observer forward to serve you even better in the future.
