Marine ops manager leaves

Bill Abbott, manager of the citizens’ council’s Maritime Operations Program, resigned his position as of Dec. 22.
He has taken a job as instructor in the maritime department of the Alaska Vocational Technical Center in Seward.
Abbott, a veteran Alaska mariner, had worked for the council since June 2006.

“We will miss Bill’s good humor and excellent knowledge and background with maritime issues specific to our work,” said John Devens, executive director of the council. “We wish him the best in all his future endeavors.”

Anyone interested in applying for the Maritime Operations Program position should contact Donna Schantz in the council’s Valdez office. She can be reached at schantz@pwsrcac.org or 907-834-5070.
