"Al Gore and James Bell Retire from Apple Board, Wanda Austin to Join"

Former Vice President Al Gore and former Boeing CFO James Bell are set to retire from Apple's board after 21 and 9 years, respectively, due to the company's policy limiting board members from re-election once they turn 75. Apple CEO Tim Cook praised their contributions and announced former Aerospace Corporation CEO Wanda Austin as a new board nominee. The company will put Austin's name forward at its annual meeting along with seven other existing directors up for re-election. Apple has recently released new products and is preparing for the U.S. launch of its Vision Pro augmented reality headset in February.
