Reuters' Ross Kerber reports that, according to Stephen Lewis (chairman of the RiverSource funds' board), Columbia parent Ameriprise will say goodbye to Carlson and two other board members (out of 12), as a Columbia mutual fund board and a RiverSource one merge.

According to Reuters, Lewis will chair the combined RiverSource/Columbia mutual fund board and the former Columbia mutual fund chair will lead the combined board's governance committee.
