New Leadership for NERC

Come July 1, NERC will have a new President and Vice President; Robert Isner of Connecticut, and Rick Watson of Delaware, respectively. George MacDonald of Maine will continue in his role as Treasurer.

Rick Watson is a newcomer to the Executive Committee, although he has been on the NERC Board for several years. We are looking forward to working with him as the Vice President of the Board. Rick is the Chief Operating Officer of the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA). Rick received a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Clarkson University and a Masters of Civil Engineering degree from the University of Delaware. He has been a part of the DSWA family since 1981. As Chief Operating Officer, he is responsible for a wide range of duties, including planning, organizing, and implementing all programs, budgets, and operations for the DSWA.

Robert Isner, who will now be President of the Board, has been the Vice President for the past two years. George MacDonald has been the NERC Treasurer for a number of years, and does an outstanding job, so we are all delighted that he will be continuing.

We must say a hearty thank you to Sarah Kite of Rhode Island who has served as the President of the Board for more than two years. Sarah, fortunately, will continue on the Board of Directors. Her leadership and direction has been essential in guiding NERC through both challenging and innovative times. Thank you Sarah!
