About NEIWPCC
Commissioners
Since NEIWPCC's formation in 1947, our Commissioners have played a critical role in setting the organization's direction and priorities, evaluating opportunities, and representing their state's needs and interests. Of the five Commissioners from each of our seven member states, a state's governor appoints three; these appointees may represent any interest, such as industry, municipal government, or the general public. The other two members of a state's delegation are the head of its environmental protection agency and the head of its health department. Typically, the holders of these positions will delegate representatives to fulfill their responsibilities on the Commission.
NEIWPCC's Commissioners meet three times a year; our Executive Committee, which consists of the heads of the member states' environmental protection agencies (or their representatives), meets six times a year.
