CRAIG PIERCY IS THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CEO OF ANS. He joins the society from Bose Public Affairs Group, where he was the managing director of federal relations. Among his responsibilities at Bose, Piercy served as ANS's Washington representative. He played a central role in several high-profile nuclear policy victories, including the creation of the Nuclear Energy University Program and Integrated University Program, and the defeat of legislation that would have banned the commercial use of many common radioisotopes. "The board of directors agreed that Craig has the right balance of industry knowledge and management experience to help our 65-year old society modernize how we meet the needs of nuclear professionals today," said ANS President Marilyn Kray. "Craig brings professionalism and vision to the society's unique network of universities, national laboratories, and nuclear companies. These are essential during a time of rapid change and tremendous opportunity in the arenas of nuclear science and technology." Added Piercy: "The society represents some of the nation's best and brightest scientific professionals. I am excited about the fresh direction ANS is adopting with its new strategic plan and honored to be in a position to lead the charge."
