    James Stack, the executive director of the Municipal Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago, resigned, citing health reasons within his family, said James Mohler, senior investment manager for the $4.5 billion fund.

    Thomas Stack, a former executive director for the fund and no relation to James Stack, took over the position for the interim.

    The board likely will meet soon to discuss the search for James Stack's replacement, Mr. Mohler said.

    Barbara Avard joined the $190 million Charlotte (N.C.) Firefighters Retirement System as administrator. She replaces Merle Wilkins, who left in June. Ms. Avard had been director of finance for the city of East Hartford, Conn., where she oversaw the $150 million pension fund. Her replacement is still being sought.

    Mr. Scott, currently vice chairman, general counsel and chief investment officer of Western National, will succeed Peter V.
