GOVERNOR MARKELL APPOINTS NEW MEMBER TO DSWA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Gregory V. Moore, P.E to its Board of Directors. He replaces Mr. William Dimondi, whose term expired in January. Mr. Moore comes to DSWA as the current Vice President and Principal Civil Engineer at Becker Morgan Group where he has worked since 1993. Formerly, Mr. Moore served as the President of Delaware Professional Engineers and currently serves as President of the Greater Dover Committee, Chair of the Downtown Dover Revitalization, Bayhealth Foundation Board of Directors and the Central Delaware YMCA & Aquatic Center Board of Directors. Governor Jack Markell formally offered Mr. Moore the appointment to the Board position, which the State Senate approved and was accepted on April 21, 2010. The Delaware Solid Waste Authority’s Board of Directors is comprised of seven Delaware residents representing The City of Wilmington and the three counties. With the exception of its Chairman, who serves at the pleasure of the Governor, the Board is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate for three-year terms. Board members serve voluntarily and without pay. Being a Board Member takes a strong commitment given that they serve as a working group, attending meetings, public hearings, workshops, and much more. The Board of Directors sets policies and makes decisions regarding current operations, programs, and planning.
