New Management Appointments at Plum Borrk Announced
Randall B. Furnas, Director of Engineering and Technical Services at
NASA's Glenn Research Center recently announced a realignment of the
Plum Brook Management Office resulting in two key senior-level
appointments. 

Robert R. Smalley, a 38-year veteran of Glenn is now serving a
six-month detail as Chief of Operations at Plum Brook Station. He
will oversee the day-to-day operations, including the test
facilities, NASA employees and the support service contractors.

Robert P. Kozar has been named Executive Liaison in Glenn's
Engineering and Technical Services Directorate though his office will
continue to be located at Plum Brook. In this new capacity Kozar will
convey the broad range of capabilities available at Plum Brook as its
representative on Agency-level boards and alliances. He will also
serve as the primary liaison from Plum Brook to the Air Force,
Department of Defense, other high-level relationships, industry, NASA
centers and the local and regional communities.

Furnas stated, "These appointments will be an outstanding match as we
realign Plum Brook into an organization that will be more effective
at interacting with our Cleveland campus and will provide more
opportunities for marketing our test capabilities and forming
alliances outside of Glenn Research Center."
