Introduction

Board of Directors

• Day-to-day operations are left in the hands of the executive director.

• There are 18 people on the board.

• Each board member serves a three-year term.

• The term can be renewed up to two times, if the board member is nominated by the

Nominating Committee and approved by the board of directors.

• The board in recent years has been mostly hands-off, allowing the executive director a

great deal of latitude in running the zoo.

Executive Director

• The executive director is effectively the CEO of the zoo, carrying out the strategic plan of

the board. William (Bill) Lau was appointed executive director in 1989.

• Under his leadership, the zoo expanded considerably, won numerous awards, and

significantly increased its revenues.

• Lau did a good job of raising the zoo profile externally, particularly in leading fundraising

efforts that brought numerous exotic animals to the zoo.

• He was not necessarily seen as a good internal leader, however.
