The role of the Sustainability Director is to be the “point person” for communication from the Committee regarding such initiatives, and to be the “champion” for such initiatives on the chapter level.
The Sustainability Director is a voting position on the Board and will report to the Vice President/Administration. This Director will be a liaison to the Sustainability Committee of the NEWH, Inc. Board.
