Dear Trout Unlimited member,

I am writing you today to announce changes within TU staff that I am sure will be of interest to you.

After serving for 20 years at the helm of TU, Charles Gauvin will be stepping down as our CEO/President on February 1. Charles has made outstanding accomplishments and exceeded even the most ambitious goals. Charles will serve as CEO Emeritus for the next year in an advisory capacity to insure that the transition will be seamless. Charles has also been elected to the Board of Trustees, so we will continue to have his wealth of knowledge and institutional experience available. 

Chris Wood, currently TU’s Chief Operating Officer, will become our new CEO on February 1. Many of you know Chris and the fine work he has done during his years with the organization. Chris was instrumental in the development of TU’s current strategic plan, and has actively worked to improve the programs and services to our members.  For more information read our press release: http://www.tu.org/press_releases/2010/trout-unlimited-announces-succession-plan-0?tr=y&auid=5851317

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. And thanks for everything you do for TU and our coldwater resources.

Sincerely,

Bryan Moore
Vice President for Volunteer Operations
