The governing board, made up of members from the CERC consortium, consisting of the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden, the Wildlife Conservation Society, Wildlife Trust, and Columbia University, supported Shahid Naeem becoming the newly created director of science (stepping down from his role as interim executive director) and Nancy Degnan becoming the executive director (stepping up from her role as associate director).
