NCDEQ secretary chosen for national leadership role
N.C. Department of Environmental Quality Secretary Elizabeth S. Biser has been chosen as the next president of the Environmental Council of States, a national association of state and territorial environmental agency leaders.
“I am honored to continue working with my state and federal colleagues in this capacity,” Biser said. “So many of the environmental issues we face today are bigger than one state, territory or region, and the partnerships fostered through ECOS are key to addressing these challenges to protect communities across the country.”
Biser, who was confirmed as NCDEQ secretary in August 2021, has been serving as ECOS vice president since April and previously served as secretary-treasurer, vice chair of the Land and Minerals Committee and state co-chair of the E-Enterprise Leadership Council.
