AC Powell will lead the National Institute of Building Sciences as its next president and CEO. In his role at the nonprofit, he will head efforts to expand programs and markets, and to grow membership, according to an Aug. 12 board of directors announcement..
Powell, who starts on Sept. 12, will be NIBS' fourth permanent lead executive. The group has recently been led on an interim basis by Stephen T. Ayers, who stepped in earlier this year after former CEO Lakisha A. Woods left for an executive role at the American Institute of Architects. NIBS was previously led by David A. Harris, for nearly 28 years, and Henry L. Green, for nearly a decade.
