Hmmm, from Emory to a non profit. I always find these types of career moves curious. As an AF member I hope he brings strict financial controls to the organization

Correction, Chris was actually the CFO for Emory College at Emory, not the CFO for the entire University. This will be a step up for Chris and we wish him great success at the Arthritis Foundation.

Yes Chris was the CFO at Emory College. Emory College is the undergraduate school of Arts and Sciences at Emory University. Best of luck to Chris.

Actually, hate to pour salt but he didn’t managed that much here. I use to be in his office and they don’t have $215M in research funds at Emory College. Maybe 215 was the entire College funds, but they had people that were over him that did that.
Just FYI…
