Anneliese Geis resigned from the LBJ School in March, trading in the directorship of the Office of Conferences and Training (C&T) for a job with the private sector. Geis had been with the LBJ School since 1990.

In her new role Geis will oversee the internal affairs of a growing Austin firm, Teknecon Energy Risk Advisors, which serves energy customers around the world.

Barry Bales, director of the Office of Professional Development, the administrative umbrella for C&T, said that Geis had made a "tremendous impact" at the LBJ School. Others described her as a "treasure."

"In her 11 years with the School, Anneliese has assisted numerous faculty, staff, and students and over 20,000 public officials from city, county, state, national, and even international governments," Bales said. "This is a great loss for the Office of Professional Development, but a great opportunity for Anneliese."

Before coming to the LBJ School Geis had served as a foreign service officer, with assignments in the Caribbean, Germany, Great Britain, and Thailand. At the LBJ School she served as assistant director from 1990 until 1995, when she was promoted to director.
