Changes to REC staff

Farewell:
Alexandru Radu Savulescu
Alexandru began working with the REC in 1991 and was responsible for opening the Romanian Local Office. He directed the Romanian office until the end of 1993 when he joined the Earmarked Grants Team at the REC Head Office in Budapest. He returned to Bucharest in December to pursue his (environmental) journalism career and will focus particularly on promoting open information exchange.

Karsten Sorensen
Karsten has gone back to Denmark after serving as Finance Manager since the middle of 1993. What did he accomplish in one and a half years? "My goal was to transform Finance to make it work. And I did." He has no definite plans for now.

Welcome:

Etelka Balogh
Etelka, the new Finance Manager, joined the REC in October 1994 with over 14 years of professional business experience. Most recently, she was an independent accountant in Canada where she conducted computer-system audits and participated in all phases of accounting.

Miroslav Chodak
Miroslav is the new coordinator of the five-country Environmental Management Training Center (EMTC) network. He came to the REC last December after coordinating the Pollution Prevention Program at the Center for Environmental Impact Assessment in Bratislava since October 1993.
