Change and growth are becoming two key words for Ann Arbor-based Internet2.

The network-providing non-profit has expanded to 96 people, adding nearly a dozen people since we checked in last late in 2008. It has made two executive team additions, including a new CTO. It also plans to replace its retiring CEO, Doug Van Houweling, soon.

"Doug will continue to lead the organization, as he has for the past twelve years, until the new CEO is selected and transitioned into the role," Beth Miller, marketing communications manager for Internet2, wrote in an email. "The search effort is underway."

For now Internet2 has a number of positions it is trying to fill. Those openings include director for international relations, a director of network services and business operations and a network software engineer. More positions are set to open up later this year.

Internet2 got its start in 1996 of providing high-performance networks for higher education and research labs. That was with a team of four people in Ann Arbor. Today it has an office in Washington, D.C., and several employees working remotely across the country.
