ECOS Chief Strives for 'Efficient' Alignment of State, Federal Roles

摘要

Donald S. Welsh, who is the new executive director of the Environmental Council of the States, came out of retirement to take the job. Usually, folks who do that have some sort of inspiration, and indeed that's the case here. In an interview, Welsh told us that he was impressed with the association of state environmental commissioners when he served as a deputy secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and as an EPA regional administrator during the George W. Bush administration. What appealed to him most were both the ECOS mission and the people who are carrying it out.
