Anchorage office hires new assistant, Valdez looking for Maritime Operations Project Manager

The council has had some turnover this summer and has said goodbye to some hardworking staff and hello to some new blood.

In the Anchorage office, Telena McQuery has accepted the position of administrative assistant, taking over for Anita Daniels who left the council in June.

Lena joined the council in August. She moved to Alaska with her husband Mike who is in the U.S. Army. She is originally from a very small town named Buena Vista, Georgia.

Lena attended Columbus State University before starting work as a legal secretary. Before moving to Alaska she worked for a family law attorney in Columbus, Georgia. Barbara Penrose, the council’s Anchorage office Data Entry Assistant, who was temporarily handling the administrative assistant duties during the position’s vacancy, has taken on a full-time internship as a funeral director.

Emily Polley left the council in July due to a move prompted by her husband’s transfer by the U.S. Army.

Following the departure of Chris Jones, the council is seeking skilled and experienced applicants for its Maritime Operations Project Manager position in Valdez.

Maritime and/or oil spill prevention and response experience is preferred, however the council is willing to train an otherwise outstanding applicant.
