From the meeting
Attachment A-1 showed Chad B. Walton moving to Vice President for Research and Innovation, with a reassignment and salary adjustment effective September 18, 2026. That is a buying trigger because research leadership often influences grants, commercialization, and technology needs.
The agenda also listed Denichiro Otsuga as Director of Innovation and Commercialization, effective September 21, 2026. Sellers should watch this office for new priorities and program investment.
