The NREC Feasibility Study now has a new project coordinator. GENE GIBSON, a native of Washington, D.C., has just come from Moscow where he was a USAID consultant for Russia and the Russian Far East.
The Earmarked Grants team welcomes ANDREA KOVATS as their new administrative assistant. Born and raised in Budapest, Andrea worked as a computer mapmaker before she decided to make the trek to the REC.
The number crunchers in finance now have a new teammate. ZOLTAN MADARAS is studying part-time at the Budapest University of Economics, and will replace Eniko Rozsa at the end of August.
ANDREA MOLNAR is from Tiszafured, Hungary. She becomes the REC's new "voice" as our receptionist.
KERRY ZOBOR joined the Information Exchange team in May as the marketing officer for the new Business Information Service. Kerry comes to the REC from Central Europe Today, a Budapest-produced English-language radio program, where she was a business consultant. Before that she was director of media relations for Hilton Hotels in New York City.
After having been in and out of the REC since its very beginning, DAN SWARTZ is leaving his post as Junior Fellow Program coordinator to give organization and management training workshops in the Macedonian NGO community. He will then travel to the Netherlands to work on an organic goat farm.
