CRA’s announced changes include three new committee chair assignments. Effective March 1, 2024, Christine Detrick will chair the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, replacing CRA’s Lead Director, William Concannon, who has served as chair since 2009. Mr. Concannon will continue to serve as Lead Director and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
