NTSB's Engleman Connors Resigns

Member Ellen Engleman Conners, who served two years as the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's) chair, announced this week that she intends to leave the agency on May 31. Engleman Conners joined the Safety Board on March 24, 2003, when she began a two-year term as its chair and CEO. Since the expiration of that role in March 2005, she has served as a member of the NTSB. Her term as member is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2007. During her tenure, she successfully focused on reducing the number of open or non-implemented NTSB safety recommendations to the lowest number since 1975.
