New directors, new opportunities.

Following is a selection of executives elected to corporate boards in the first quarter of this year.

Lindsay Edward Fox purchased his first truck at the age of 16. Today, the Linfox Group, of which he is chairman, is one of the largest trucking and warehousing groups in Australia, with annual revenues in excess of $400 million and a fleet of more than 3,500 vehicles. And earlier this year he became the newest member of the board of Morrison Knudsen Corp. "Lindsay Fox has distinguished himself both in business and community affairs in an area of the world where we see vast potential for MK," said chairman and CEO William J. Agree. "His participation on the board will play a significant role in the success of MK in Australia, New Zealand, and other countries of the Pacific Rim." Morrison Knudsen, of Boise, Idaho, provides development, design/engineering, and other construction and operating services.
