USCC Staff Come Together for the First Time in a Year

A majority of USCC staff assembled in Raleigh, NC, this past week to come together as a team. Over a year into this pandemic, the personal connection that we share needs to be aerated. With the addition of Hessa Al Maghlouth in February 2021, Gowri Sundaram in December 2020, and Eric Hudiburg in June 2020, the council staff has grown tremendously over the past year.

Though traveling across the country in a car is laborious, Linda Norris-Waldt Advocacy, Corporate Relations & Chapter Relations Director, and Gowri Sundaram, Database Manager, made the commute to Raleigh as well. Though Cary Oshins could not be here in person, he did make it into this photo through the power of Photoshop. As the council evolves and adapts to the needs of our membership, we need to continually analyze our strategic plan to best serve the compost community as a whole.

The entire USCC staff is so excited to be working toward a common cause. This year will be big for compost on a number of fronts: record breaking demand, new and exciting resources for composters and municipalities, new legislation, and the return of the IN PERSON conference in Austin, TX, in January 2022. We will all be very busy this year!
