The Congress for the New Urbanism will begin the search for a new CEO after Lynn Richards announces plans to depart.
Laurie Volk reports that Lynn Richards will move on after seven years as the CEO of the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU).
"In the seven short years she has been CEO, Lynn has accomplished so much on behalf of the organization. Lynn’s outstanding leadership was instrumental in the development of our new Strategic Plan, as well as the detailed operations plan that will ensure that the Strategic Plan will be implemented," writes Volk.
Volk provides a longer list of Richards's accomplishments and promises that CNU will post the job opening by the end of the month in the hopes of announcing a new hire in time for the CNU 29: Design for Change event in May.
