"Billy recently informed the USANS Executive Committee of his desire to step down from his role as Executive Director following the Beijing Olympics," said USANS Board of Directors chair Tom Bickner.

"Billy has provided strong leadership, guiding the organization through its growth from representing one discipline to now four.

"He leaves a strong foundation from which to build.

"Originally, Billy agreed to assume the Executive Director role for two years.

"We are pleased that he stayed in the position for six years and that he will continue his close involvement with USANS to assist with our vision, strategy, partnerships, and networking priorities over time.

"He has engaged and inspired our community, giving us some meaningful momentum that will carry forward."

Demong said that he is looking forward to a new challenge and feels that new ideas are needed to cement the foundation of USANS.

"I am excited to assist with a smooth transition, which is already in process, and to stay involved as a member of the Board," Demong said.

"I am proud of my accomplishments over the past six years, and believe that the future for USANS is bright."
