** Statement on the Passing of Former NDC President Jim Byers
------------------------------------------------------------
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our friend and former president Jim Byers. Jim was a longtime member of the National Democratic Club who devoted a great deal of his time and energy toward building and leading our club. It was through his vision and leadership that has set us on a course toward building a new space befitting our institution. In addition to serving as President from 2012-2014, Jim also served as 1st Vice President and Treasurer.

In addition to his service to the club, Jim served as President of Millan Byers and Associates alongside another former club president in Jack Flynn. Previously, Mr. Byers was Senior Associate with the Washington political consulting firm of Walker / Free Associates. He provided public affairs strategy and writing services to business, labor and political leaders involved with international energy, environment, manufacturing, intellectual property and entertainment issues. Before beginning his career in corporate and political communication, Mr. Byers worked for the National Broadcasting Company in New York and Washington, D.C. in business management and on-air technical operations. He published articles on media issues and worked as a creative writer for a New York agency. Mr. Byers came to the East Coast after college graduation as poetry coordinator and fiction reader for Doubleday & Company in New York.

The thoughts and prayers of the entire National Democratic Club family are with his wife Rebecca and family at this time. The club also thanks them as well for allowing us all to know, learn, and benefit from Jim as a member of our club.

As we get more information on funeral arrangements they will be passed on at that time.

Terry M. Richards
