American Geophysical Union: After a search lasting more than a year, the world’s largest professional society for Earth and space scientists has a new CEO, Christine McEntee. McEntee has worked at several professional organizations, including, most recently, as the CEO of the American Institute of Architects. In a press release announcing her departure, AIA President George H. Miller said:
Over the past four years, Chris McEntee significantly enhanced [the] recognition by policy makers, the media, and others that design matters, especially in the areas of sustainability and livable communities. Chris is embracing an opportunity of great personal and professional interest and we wish her every future success.
