One new face and two new places on council staff

Mary Schonberger, Jacquelyn Olson, Linda Swiss
Olson, a long-time Valdez resident, had been working since 2001 for Chugach Development Corp. under contract to Alyeska Pipeline. Her duties included tracking and generating statistics on company-wide spills and preparing and giving reports on those statistics.
In the council’s Anchorage office, Linda Swiss was promoted to project manager for oil spill prevention and response planning. She replaces Joe Banta, who recently became project manager for environmental monitoring. Swiss had worked as project manager assistant since joining the staff early in 2004.
And Mary Schonberger was promoted to the project manager assistant position vacated by Swiss. Schonberger had worked as administrative assistant since joining the council’s Anchorage office early last year.
