THE STREAMER NEWSLETTER

Streamer: Summer 2000

In April, Pam DiBona left CRWA to join Environmental League of Massachusetts where she introduces and supports legisla tion benefiting the environment of Massachusetts. As CRWA's environmental affairs coordinator, Pam advocated for water resources protection and sound land use. She managed several important projects at CRWA including the Holliston Environmental Zoning Project. We miss Pam very much and look forward to collaborating with her on statewide initiatives.

CRWA warmly welcomes Mary Crain Penniman as its senior environmental planner. Prior to joining CRWA, Mary Crain worked for nine years at the MA Department of Environmental Protection. She also has experience as a consultant, a local conservation agent and an environmental educator. Mary Crain has a bachelor's degree in Horticulture and master's degrees in Landscape Ecology and Landscape Design. Among her many assignments, she will work to improve access and recreational activities along the river.

CRWA is pleased to announce that Margaret Van Deusen will join us in August as deputy director/general counsel. An attorney with 20 years of experience, Margaret specializes in environmental law, most recently as a partner at Rubin and Rudman. Prior to private practice, she worked in the Attorney General's office representing the state in civil environmental enforcement litigation, agency proceedings, major projects, and mediation. Margaret will be focusing on environmental zoning, advocacy issues, and permit decisions.

In August, Kate Bowditch and her family are departing for a year in Kenya. We wish them well!
