New Board Members At FSC
The Forest Stewardship Council-United States (FSC-US) announced newly elected members and a returning member.
The election of the three members to its Board of Directors was announced by FSC-US earlier this month. The new members are: Paul Davis, senior marketing analyst and FSC group certification manager for Columbia Forest Products in Portland, OR, and Ian Hanna, director of Northwest certified forestry for Northwest Natural Resource Group in Port Townsend, WA.
In addition, Josh Dickinson, executive director of Forest Management Trust in Gainesville, FL, was re-elected to serve a second full term.
Paul Davis is taking the vacated seat of Paul Harlan of The Collins Companies, who has fulfilled two terms on the Board and was not eligible for re-election. Ian Hanna is taking the seat of Barbara Bramble of National Wildlife Federation, who also served two terms and was not eligible for re-election.
The Board of FSC-US is comprised of nine members (three elected from each chamber of the membership: economic, environmental and social) elected by its membership. The elected Board members have appointed three additional members, and may appoint up to three more, for a total of two appointed members in each chamber.
“We are pleased to have veteran Board member Josh rejoin us for another term. We are also very excited to have two brand new board members in Paul and Ian, who we are sure will bring new viewpoints, and experiences to the oversight of the FSC-US organization,” said Barbara Bramble, chair of the FSC-US Board of Directors.
Bramble will retire as chair when her term ends on July 31st, and Bill Hayward of Hayward Lumber in Monterey, CA, will assume the chairmanship.
The newly elected Directors will assume their roles on August 1, 2007.
