4 February 2010—At the 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco, the Mathematics Genealogy Project Advisory Committee held its first meeting. The Project's founder, Harry B. Coonce, relayed his intention to retire from his role as Managing Director. The Advisory Committee recommended that Mitchel T. Keller, long-time Assistant Director, be named Dr. Coonce's successor. This appointment was confirmed by Dogan Comez, Chair of the NDSU Department of Mathematics, on 3 February 2010. The Project anticipates continuing its usual operations as Keller assumes permanent operation of the Project. He had previously served as Interim co-Managing Director since October 2008. Christopher L. Spicer, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Morningside College, was also named Assistant Director of the Mathematics Genealogy Project. This change more accurately reflects Spicer's responsibilities for producing posters for the Project.
