Governance In August, Dr. Prosser GifTord announced his intention to step down from the chairmanship of the MBL Board of Trustees. Dr. Gifford led the MBL for 14 years, through a period of unprecedented change and growth. In a little short of a decade and a half, he worked with 4 of the 11 directors the Laboratory has had in its 103 year existence. Under his leadership, the Laboratory's facilities were significantly upgraded, the year-round science program grew substantially, the educational program maintained its character, the library prospered and began an exciting modernization program, and the administrative and development staffs were strengthened. Neurobiologist Dr. Jelle Atema assumed the directorship of the Boston University Marine Program in August. He replaces Dr. Rudi Strickler. who had directed BUMP since 1987. Dr. Atema has energetic plans for BUMP's graduate and undergraduate programs, and his long acquaintance with the MBL bodes well for our partnership with Boston University. In their February meeting, the Trustees approved a new Long Range Financial Planning Committee charged with reporting to the Trustees and/or the Executive Committee on the existence and appropriateness of long-range financial planning mechanisms of the laboratory. Responsibility for planning remains with the administration of the laboratory, while the new committee is to assure that the financial risks of growth have been properly anticipated and planned for. The committee is to include two at-large trustees, two corporate trustees, and the treasurer, e.\ officio. Treasurer Robert Manz chaired the new committee, which began by making a comprehensive review of the new MRC. In Aug
