New faces join the council's staff roster
Two new employees have signed on with the citizens’ council in the past few months.
Tracy Leithauser became permanent in July as Information Systems Assistant after starting as a temporary hire last December. Her largest responsibility is maintaining the council’s web site, www.pwsrcac.org. She works in the Anchorage office. Leithauser has a bachelor’s degree in English from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon and attends a part-time master’s degree program through the University of Washington.
Agota Horel (pictured below) started early this month as an intern in the council’s Valdez office, where she will be working with staff on oil-spill preparedness and best available technology issues, conducting research and providing administrative support.
