At the Joint Assembly in Toronto, the AGU Council passed three measures important to the Union's future: (1) a recommendation for a change in governance structure, (2) the schedule for the search for a new executive director, and (3) the announcement of a new strategic planning initiative. Last month, I updated you on important data gathering and deliberations completed by the Future Focus Task Force (FFTF), a 15‐member committee established to advise the Council of changes needed for AGU's future, and I promised to share the results with you.
