Homer is well-represented in the newly elected executive committee of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council, which held its annual board meeting in Valdez this week. Among other business, the board convened to elect officers who will serve for the next year.
Robert Archibald is the president of the board. He holds the seat representing the City of Homer.
Also from Homer on the board is Secretary Bob Shavelson of Cook Inletkeeper, representing the Oil Spill Region Environmental Coalition.
The Vice President is Amanda Bauer, representing the City of Valdez, the Treasurer is Wayne Donaldson, representing the City of Kodiak, and there are three members-at-large, Ben Cutrell, representing Chugach Alaska Corporation, Robert Beedle, representing the City of Cordova, and Rebecca Skinner, representing the Kodiak Island Borough.
"The council's work has never been more important, Archibald said, adding, “Citizen oversight remains a key component to maintaining robust spill prevention and response systems and benefits everyone – citizens, industry, and regulators alike."
