ALM Announces Executive Promotions of Kevin Vermeulen and Stephen Lincoln.

NEW YORK -- ALM, a leading media company serving legal and business professionals, today announced the promotion of Kevin Vermeulen to the position of senior vice president of ALM's Conference and Trade Show Division. The division is one of North America's largest producers of educational and networking events for business leaders and the legal profession, producing more than 300 events and two major trade shows. The company also announced the promotion of Stephen Lincoln to vice president, advertising for ALM's legal division.

Vermeulen will replace Stuart Williams, who has resigned from the company to pursue other business interests. A fifteen-year employee of ALM and its predecessors, Vermeulen has successfully managed the company's national publications group as group publisher since 1998. In this role, he oversaw advertising, circulation, production and business affairs for the company's national magazines, including The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel, IP Law & Business and Law Technology News. He previously held senior level management positions with various ALM publications. In addition to his new responsibilities, Vermeulen will continue as ALM's corporate vice president of sales, responsible for working with all of ALM's sales organizations to help clients purchase cross-media packages. In both of these roles, Vermeulen will report directly to ALM CEO William Pollak.

Lincoln joined ALM in 1997, most recently serving as publisher of The National Law Journal, and vice president, sales and marketing for ALM's legal newspaper group. In his new position, he will oversee integrated sales programs for all of ALM's legal properties, including national and regional print, online, directories and legal data products. Lincoln will report to ALM senior vice presidents Jack Berkowitz and George Dillehay.

"We're delighted that Kevin and Steve, two of the legal publishing industry's most experienced and respected advertising executives, will be taking on these important, expanded roles in our organization," said Pollak. "We're grateful for Stuart's valuable contributions over the past year in integrating our conference and event organizations, and wish him the best in his future endeavors."
