Washington -- Hilary Rosen, chairman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the lobbying group for the major record labels, has announced her intention to resign from her positions at the end of 2003. Rosen served with the organization for 17 years and has headed it since 1998, spearheading the industry's reactions to Internet file-sharing and slumping CD sales. Rosen said she is stepping down to spend more time with family; she and partner Elizabeth Birch have four-year-old twins. "This has been the most exciting job I can imagine," said Rosen. "During my tenure here, the recording industry has undergone dramatic challenges and it is well positioned for future success." The RIAA said it will conduct an executive search for a replacement, adding that RIAA president Cary Sherman will retain his current role. http://www.riaa.org/PR_story.cfm?id=600
