News from AURA: New Members of the Board and its Committees (1Jun95)
(from Director's Office, NOAO Newsletter No. 42, June 1995)

By 1 July several changes will have taken place within the board and its
committees. We will say hello to new director-at-large Russell Hulse
(Princeton Univ. Plasma Physics Lab.) and named a Nobel Laureate in 1993
for his discovery of the binary pulsar. Other new members of the board
include: Frank Bash (Texas), Timothy Heckman (Johns Hopkins), Elizabeth
Hoffman (Iowa State), Kenneth Janes (Boston), John Huchra (Harvard), and
Wallace Sargent (Caltech).

On 30 June, we will say thank you and goodbye to long-term Board member
David Morrisroe (Caltech), who served for sixteen years in many capacities.
He and his outstanding knowledge and experience as an administrator will
certainly be missed. Other members who have left the board include: Arthur
Davidsen (Johns Hopkins), Gerry Fonken (Texas), Richard Hoffmann (Iowa
State), Robert Kirshner (Harvard), and Alan Marscher (Boston).

Readers have expressed interest in a better understanding of the structure of
our board. In the next issue of this Newsletter, we will summarize the
membership of the board and its key committees.
