Richard R. Buery

September 6, 2009, The New York Times — There are a few things about Richard R. Buery Jr. that made him a novel choice to lead the Children’s Aid Society. He is 37, almost 30 years younger than the man he will replace. He is the first black person to run Children’s Aid. And he has spent much of his professional life building organizations from scratch, not taking over established ones with venerable, 150-year-old reputations.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2009 — The Board of Trustees of The Children's Aid Society is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard R. Buery, Jr. as the agency's new President and Chief Executive Officer. He will succeed C. Warren Moses, who will retire at the organization's annual meeting in October.
