John Clark, Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers president for 10 years, will leave the post effective July 4.
SCTE announced that Clark is leaving “to pursue other interests.”
“We thank John for all he has done for SCTE after entering into the important leadership role of president 10 years ago, and we wish him well in his new pursuits,” said Tom Gorman, chairman of the SCTE Board of Directors.
