FSC: US Appoints New President

The Forest Stewardship Council–US (FSC–US) has appointed Corey Brinkema, the former executive director of the Green Institute in Minneapolis, as president of the organization. He has experience running a business unit with FSC chain-of-custody certification and was instrumental in the creation of Minnesota GreenStar, a residential green building program (see

EBN Vol. 16, No. 11). Brinkema replaces Roger Dower, who left FSC–US in early 2007 to become president of the Johnson Foundation in Racine, Wisconsin.
