ODNI ANNOUNCES SENIOR EXECUTIVES’ MOVES Ambassador Joseph R. DeTrani to Serve as New NCPC Director

Ambassador Joseph R. DeTrani will become the new director of the National Counterproliferation Center
(NCPC) next month, and Sylvia L. Copeland, an accomplished executive in the Intelligence Community, will
replace him as mission manager for North Korea, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced
today.

The move stems from a decision by Ambassador Kenneth C. Brill, NCPC’s founding director, to return to the
State Department and then retire from the U.S. Foreign Service.
