On the move

Head Office

  Topping the list is WINSTON BOWMAN who left his post as Deputy Director of the REC on July 1. Having worked with the REC's Information Exchange and Programs departments for 6 years, Winston is now Project Director of the Environmental Partnership Program, managed by the U.S.-Based Institute for International Education (IIE) and sponsored by USAID. The REC is the IIE's main partner for the project.

  After more than five years, the REC's IVELIN ROUSSEV, project manager and information specialist at the Information Exchange Department (IED), is transferring his information skills to the private sector in Brussels.

  The REC welcomed DAREK URBANIAK this summer from Canada who has come to IED to work on the Coordinated Action for Pan-European Transport and Environment Telematics Implementation Support project — better known by its acronym, CAPE.

  IED also lost its project assistant and researcher, MALGORZATA MAZUREK, who returned to her native Poland. She was replaced by EMESE GAL, who joins the REC from Budapest's private sector.

  ZOLTAN TOTH concluded his work with the REC's Local Environmental Action Programs project after having worked with IED as an intern and returned to Canada in August.

  The new coordinator of the NGO Participation in the Danube Pollution Reduction Programme is RICHARD MULLER, a graduate from Comenius University, Bratislava, in Environmental Planning and Management and past REC Junior Fellow.

  The REC was sad to lose BLERTA MALIQI who led the REC's Local Office in Albania for over 4 years before joining the REC Szentendre head office to become a Local Outreach Officer. Blerta left for Master's studies in environment and health.

  JUDIT NAGY also left her post, having been with the REC for 2 years, first as receptionist and then as travel officer with the REC Conference Unit.

  REC's reception gained RITA GYORFFY from Hungary while GABOR REHAK began work as Maintenance Assistant with the REC's Site Management Unit.

Local Offices

  Only a few changes happened on the local front. In the REC Local Office Estonia, ANNE KIVINUKK came on as Project Officer and MERJE POLVA joined up as Financial Assistant. At the newly-opened Local Office in Yugoslavia, MAJA SPASOJEVIC also joined as a Financial Assistant.
