NEFBA's new executive vice president is a familiar name: he's Corey Deal, who served as the association's Director of Governmental Affairs from 2006-09.
Deal succeeds Daniel Davis, who now is the president of JAXChamber.
Deal left NEFBA to pursue a law degree, which he got from the University of Georgia School of Law last year. He since has been working in the Georgia state government.
He was the unanimous choice of the NEFBA selection committee, which consisted of present officers and three past presidents.
