The Interstate Environmental Commission (IEC)
elected it officers for 2008-2009 at its annual
meeting held on March 5th.
Under the Commission's system of rotating the
chairmanship among its three member states
every two years, Commissioner John Atkin of
Norwalk, Connecticut, was re-elected the
Commission’s Chairman. Commissioner Judith L.
Baron of New York and Commissioner Frank A.
Pecci of New Jersey were re-elected the
Commission’s Vice Chairs. Commissioner Gerard J.
Kassar of New York was re-elected Treasurer.
Howard Golub, the Commission’s Executive
Director and Chief Engineer, was re-elected
Executive Secretary; and Boris Rukovets, the
Commission’s Assistant Executive Director and
Assistant Chief Engineer, was re-elected
Assistant Secretary. Ross Brady, IEC’s Senior
Attorney, was elected Counsel to the
Commission.
Following the election, Chairman Atkin
reaffirmed the Commission’s responsibility to
play a key role in environmental matters
throughout the Metropolitan area. He said that
“he is committed to carry on the IEC’s policy of
stringent and fair water pollution standards
that
are set and enforced — without partiality —
based solely on what is environmentally in the
best interest of the entire tri-state region.”
A former member of the Connecticut State Senate
and Connecticut House of Representatives,
Chairman Atkin has been an IEC Commissioner
since 1992 and previously served terms as the
Commission’s Chairman and as the Commission’s
Connecticut Vice Chair.
