Today, Julie Packard, the Aquariumβs first and only executive director, announced sheβll be transitioning from the executive director role to assume a leadership role on the Aquariumβs Board of Trustees.
βItβs been an honor and a privilege to lead the Monterey Bay Aquarium for the past 40 years,β Packard said. βItβs time to pass the torch to a new leader who will chart the Aquariumβs course in the decades to come.β
With fronds like you, weβve built a strong foundation over the past 40 years. The Aquarium is the best in the world and will continue making a positive difference for the future of the ocean and weβre excited to sea what comes next!
