executive vice president and chief operating officer (COO) and Susan M.
Mersereau to senior vice president, Information Technology, and chief
information officer (CIO).
Both positions report directly to Steven R. Rogel, chairman, president and
chief executive officer, and are effective immediately.

Mersereau has held numerous leadership positions in Business Services and
Aviation and in Containerboard Packaging and Recycling before assuming her
current position.

management team, having Rich serve as COO will allow me to spend more time
focusing on future growth strategies, resolution of critical external issues,
enhancing customer relations, and developing future company leaders," Rogel
said. "Elevating Susan's position to the senior management team demonstrates
the strategic importance information technology will play in Weyerhaeuser's
continued success."
