COMMERCE SECRETARY AND NOAA ADMINISTRATOR ANNOUNCE NEW
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER DIRECTOR
Bill Proenza to Succeed Max Mayfield
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and NOAA officials, Undersecretary
Conrad Lautenbacher and NOAA National Weather Service Director
D.L. Johnson, named Xavier William (Bill) Proenza to replace
Max Mayfield as the director of its National Hurricane Center
and two other divisions of the NOAA Tropical Prediction Center
in Miami. Proenza will become the director upon Mayfield's retirement
on January 3 after 34 years of federal service at the hurricane
center. Proenza, long-time director of the NOAA National Weather
Service Southern Region, will be actively working with Mayfield
this December handling post-season hurricane evaluations and
conference preparation. "Although Bill has big shoes to
fill as America's calm and trusted voice in the eye of the storm,
his experience and his ties to the emergency management community
will be a national asset in preparing our coastlines from tropical
weather threats," said Secretary Gutierrez.
