I’m delighted to announce that, after an exhaustive search for an executive director, Prometheus Foundation’s board of directors has selected Craig Biddle for the position. Ironically, Craig had neither applied for the position nor even considered it. Rather, he was on the search committee to find a director. But after the committee reviewed 15 applications,…
