Tour operator Tauck is making leadership changes that become effective on Oct. 1.

Chairman Arthur Tauck Jr. will become chairman emeritus, CEO Dan Mahar will become chairman, president Jennifer Tombaugh will become CEO and COO Jeremy Palmer will become president.

Mahar has been Tauck's CEO since 2008, Tombaugh has been president since 2011, and Palmer has been COO since 2019.

Mahar said Tauck's leadership plan "has been thoughtfully prepared and refined over the past decade, and it comes during a period of strong, consistent growth for the company. We look forward to remaining a family-owned company driven by our shared purpose of enhancing our guests’ lives through travel."

Founded in 1925, Tauck will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year.
