The University of Denver Board of Trustees has elected prominent Denver business leader Trygve Myhren its chairman. Myhren, a DU trustee since 1995, succeeds Joy S. Burns. Burns was "anti-Boone," so with the changing of the guard, new opportunities arise.

The election took place Aug. 31. Myhren is president of Myhren Media Inc. He is a founder or co-founder of six cable TV networks, including the Food Network, Northwest Cable News and E! Entertainment.
