The Mutual Fund Directors Forum has announced that Andrew “Buddy” Donohue will be succeeding Kay Dryden as Chair of the Forum’s Board following Ms. Dryden’s retirement at year-end. In the press release, Carolyn McPhillips, President of MFDF, thanked Ms. Dryden saying, "Kay has been a remarkable steward of the Forum’s Board and her contributions to fund director education and advocacy have made a major impact on our organization and across the fund board space.” On Mr. Donohue's transition to the Chair role, Ms. McPhillips continued, “as we reflect on Kay’s many accomplishments, the Board and I can think of no one more qualified to step into the role of Chair than Buddy.
