Announcing Board of Directors' election results
September 16, 2013
FSC US is pleased to announce the results of the 2013 Board of Directors elections.
Our newly elected directors are Luke Dillinger of Domtar (Economic Chamber) and Melanie Parker of Northwest Connections (Social Chamber). Luke is elected to a full three-year term and Melanie will complete the remaining year of a Social Chamber term recently vacated. Both Luke and Melanie will be eligible for reelection upon completion of these terms.
Bill Wilkinson from Pacific Forest Trust (Environmental Chamber) and Lynn Jungwirth of The Watershed Research and Training Center (Social Chamber) were both re-elected. This will be Lynn's second three-year term representing FSC's Social Chamber. Bill will also be serving his second three-year term as director, and his first as an Environmental Chamber representative. Bill had represented FSC's Social Chamber, but his recent employment at Pacific Forest Trust required him to run for the open Environmental Chamber seat.
