NAMES IN THE NEWS
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples will be stepping aside after a lengthy tenure serving the
State of Texas as an elected offi cial to serve as presi- dent of the Texas Oil and Gas Association. “Serving the people of Texas in elected offi ce for more than 20 years has been an indescribable honor. These last few years of working with all Texans as your Commissioner of Agriculture on far ranging policy areas such as rural economic growth and urban water availability, job cre- ation, national security, home and landowner rights, and alongside the farmers and ranchers of Texas who provide the food and fi ber upon which we all rely has reinforced my confi dence in the future of our grand state. After Staples’ departure and before the new com- missioner takes offi ce, Texas Department of Agri- culture will be managed by Chief of Staff Shannon
Rusing and Deputy Commissioner Drew DeBerry. Jeff Moen is the new director of business devel- opment for the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation.
Moen has acted as the Noble Foundation’s corporate counsel and assistant general counsel for almost 8 years. He has been signifi cantly involved in many aspects of the business development efforts during the past year. “Jeff has an elite mind, an unmatched work ethic and true professionalism,” said Bill Buck- ner, president and CEO of the Noble Foundation. “His abilities will enable continued success of our business development efforts and overall mission.” As part of the new business development activities, Moen will identify opportunities in the agricultural industry and in the Noble Foundation’s research pro- grams. He will facilitate building mutual areas of coop- eration between Noble and the industry to deliver tech- nological solutions to advance agriculture. The Texas A&M System Board of Regents named Dr. Bruce L. Akey interim director of the Texas A&M Vet-
erinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. Akey began as executive deputy director at the lab in June of this year. For 6 years, Dr. Tammy R. Beckham served as the lab’s director, and since 2010, also directed the Insti-
tute for Infectious Animal Diseases, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Center of Excellence affi liated with Texas A&M AgriLife Re- search. She has become the full-time director of the institute.
