NRSC Board elects Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors

At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of Newell Regional Services Corporation held Thursday, October 27, 2011; Directors elected a new Board Chairman and Vice-Chairman.

Mr. Clarence Amulung was elected as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Bill Prentice was elected as Vice-Chairman.

The Board of Directors and Management heartfully thank Past-Chairman, Mr. Ike Schroeder for his efforts in leadership to the Board and the Corporation. Mr. Schroeder has been instrumental in providing leadership in the Regional Water concept, for many years. Long before incorporation and well before the projects actually began, Mr. Schroeder was a part of the vision and concept that has brought a modern, efficient and sustainable system to the region. Mr. Schroeder remains a Director of the Board and has decided to step down as Chairman, as the Corporation moves into a new phase of its life.

The Board of Directors and Management also express gratitude to Mr. Noel Moriyama for his expertise and guidance in the role as Vice-Chairman. Mr. Moriyama had a historical background in the Regional concept as Administrator of both the City of Brooks and the County of Newell. His experience also served to provide guidance and direction in the past. Mr. Moriyama also remains on the Board as a Director.

Mr. Amulung and Mr. Prentice both bring to the Board, a wealth of knowledge in business and the water industry. The Board of Directors and Management look forward to future direction and leadership and have confidence that the future of environmental compliance and a sustainable system remains a goal of the Board of Directors.
