The moves also come as Boeing is fighting to stem the financial fallout from the overlapping coronavirus pandemic, which has rocked global aviation.
Arthur Collins, a former chairman and chief executive officer at Medtronic and director on the Boeing board since 2007, and Susan Schwab, a former U.S. trade representative and director since 2010, are both retiring, Boeing said.

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says six Long Island school districts face some degree of financial risk.
Data shows that the Hempstead and Wantagh districts are in moderate fiscal stress. These school districts are assigned state financial monitors.
Four other districts Elmont, Mattituck-Cutchogue, New Suffolk and Wyandanch were characterized as susceptible to fiscal stress, a milder rating.
DiNapoli said he urges school district leaders to “closely monitor their financial conditions” as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt school district operations and finances.

South Brooklyn Marine Terminal To Become A Wind Turbine Assembly and Maintenance Plant, Bringing 1,200 Jobs To Sunset Park
Elizabeth Yeampierre estimates that her team at UPROSE – the Brooklyn community-based environmental justice organization she oversees – has been advocating for the creation of green jobs along the industrial waterfront of Sunset Park for over two decades.
“I found a flyer the other day at UPROSE that was dated ‘97 or ‘98,” said Yeampierre, who’s served as executive director to the Sunset Park-based organization since 1996.
So, it felt like a long-deserved victory when on Jan. 13 the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) approved plans to transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) into a wind turbine assembly and maintenance plant, answering the calls of groups like UPROSE and bringing with it over one thousand green jobs to the area.
