Adams becomes new Chief

As of today, 1 July 2005, John L. Adams has become Chief of the CSE.

Previously Commissioner of the Coast Guard and originally an officer in the Canadian Forces, Adams is the seventh Chief in CSE/CBNRC's 59-year history. He takes charge as the agency is in the midst of its largest expansion ever and while it is still undergoing a major reorientation from Cold War military targets to "Global War on Terror" targets. Should make for an interesting tenure.

Adams replaced Keith Coulter, who had been Chief since 2001.
