Two big foundations, in Pittsburgh and Boston, have each named new chairmen:

- Michael B. Keating, a Boston lawyer, is the new chair of the Boston Foundation board, reports The Boston Globe. Mr. Keating takes on his new role after the departure of the Rev. Ray Hammond, who had been chair since 2002.
