MMA president to retire
By The Mainebiz News Staff
Maine Maritime Academy said today that its president, Leonard H. Tyler, plans to retire next year.
Tyler, president of the Castine maritime college since 1995, joined the school in July 1969 as an assistant professor of health and physical education and assistant football coach. Under his leadership, the college experienced record enrollment, acquired a state-of-the-art training ship and completed a $22 million capital campaign, the most extensive ever conducted by a maritime college.
Tyler will remain in his post until August 2010, giving the board ample time to find a replacement.
