Woychik, who took over as chief executive in 2002, told the nonprofit’s board of trustees that he is open to staying on while the firm searches for his replacement. The organization, a major biotech employer in Maine, has a total of 1,318 employees in Maine and Sacramento, CA, and an annual budget of $170 million for the current fiscal year.
