Personal MessageThere is no easy way for me to say this—I will be stepping down this fall as Laboratory Director. When I accepted the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to head SLAC, I told then President Gerhard Casper that I would serve "eight to ten years." I believed then, as I still do, that change at the "top" is healthy for large organizations and that in these times of increasing management complexity and accountability, senior managers best serve their institutions by stepping aside after a decade of stewardship. This fall I will complete my eighth year as Director. Sharing this news with you all makes today one of the most challenging in my tenure as Director. I would much prefer that this be a two-way conversation and accordingly I have scheduled four All Hands Meetings tomorrow in the Panofsky Auditorium (see below). I very much hope that I will have the opportunity to see you in one of those sessions. |
