MCHENRY, IL, Jan 29, 2016 – Nader Qaimari, who leads Follett’s preK-12 business, Follett School Solutions, has been named to the EdNET 2016 Industry Advisory Board, a panel of industry executives who advise on the programming and formatting for the education industry's networking and thought leadership event.

The annual EdNET Conference, hosted by MDR, provides PreK-12 organizations the latest information on market trends, business partnering opportunities, funding sources, new technologies, and activities of key market players. This year’s conference will be held Sept. 25-27 in Dallas.

“Follett has been a long-time supporter of EdNET and our work, and we are honored to have Nader participating in our board discussions this year,” said Vicki Smith Bigham, EdNET Conference Manager. “His keen perspective on the market, especially in publishing and the transition to digital products and service solutions, will be valuable for program planning. I very much look forward to working with him.”

In October 2015, Qaimari was promoted to Executive Vice President for Follett Corporation, and General Manager for Follett School Solutions. Qaimari joined Follett in July 2014 as Senior Vice President of Content Services and Solutions. Prior to that, he served as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Cengage Learning’s Gale business.
