Citizens' council board chooses new officers

At its May meeting in Valdez, the council’s board elected its seven-member executive committee for the next year.

Steve Lewis of Seldovia was elected president, succeeding Patience Andersen Faulkner of Cordova, who had served in that post since 2007.

Besides Lewis, the executive committee, which will serve until the board’s May 2010 meeting, is as follows:

Walter Parker, who represents the Oil Spill Region Environmental Coalition on the board, is the new vice president.

Cathy Hart, representing the Alaska Wilderness Recreation and Tourism Association, is the new secretary.

Sheri Buretta, representing Chugach Alaska Corporation, is the new treasurer.

Elected to serve as at-large members of the executive committee were Jane Eisemann of Kodiak, Blake Johnson of Kenai, and Dorothy M. Moore of Valdez.

The board also welcomed a familiar face back to the council. Stan Stephens, who has served several previous terms on the board as a representative of the Alaska Wilderness Recreation and Tourism Association, was seated as a representative of the city of Valdez.
