Job will as- sume a new staff position of regulatory affairs man- ager for the National Ground Water Associa- tion effective January 1, 2016. Job will report to Lauren Schapker, NGWA's director of government affairs. Job worked at U.S. EPA for more than 29 years, having served since 2000 as its Infrastructure Branch chief. At the agency, Job also led critical work in standards and risk management, under- ground injection control, regulatory co- ordination, and information collection. During part of his agency tenure, Job worked in EPA Region V in ground- water protection and water quality stan- dards planning. He also was a charter participant in the recent development of the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network, a multiagency private sector data-sharing project. NGWA's Chief Executive Officer Kevin McCray, CAE, says the addition of Job will further strengthen NGWA's already effective federal government affairs program. "Chuck Job's knowledge and abili- ties will be great assets to NGWA and its members as the Association strives for policies good for America and the groundwater professions," McCray says. "So much of being heard in Washington involves having sound policy initiatives and then effectively communicating them to the decision- makers. Chuck will help NGWA make that happen." In addition to his extensive U.S. EPA experience, Job has also worked in the environmental consulting sector, in state and regional government natural resources and planning agencies, and for major American corporations. He holds master's degrees in applied eco- nomics emphasizing environmental economics from the University of Michigan and environmental science from Miami University. In 2010, Job authored the important text Groundwater Economics, which has been used in instructional programs around the nation. He was also the lead on a column in NGWA's journal Groundwater Monitoring & Remedia- tion ® from 1996 to 2012.
