Executive Director
The Catawba River District recently added three new members
to our Executive Board. Each brings unique skills and passion to the work of
the Catawba River District.
Alice Battle
First is Alice Battle, a long- time environmental advocate. I’ve
known Alice for several years and have respected her leadership on the Mountain
Island Lake Marine Commission and as a dedicated cove keeper. Alice also serves
on the board of the Catawba River Women’s Group. She lives on Mountain Island
Lake and can often be found in her pontoon boat not only enjoying the lake but also
volunteering as a caretaker, advocate and voice in protecting this invaluable source
of drinking water supply for more than a million people. Alice will lead the
River District’s strategic initiative to support parks and greenways, blue ways,
and environmental stewardship education.
Henk-Jan van Ettekoven
Henk-Jan van Ettekoven is the director of service and manufacturing
for Huber Technology, one of our strategic partners. Henk and Jennifer
Covington, also from Huber Technology, have created and presented one of
learning stations at our annual outdoor STEM Festival for more than 500 fifth
graders. Henk joins the board to ensure that our programs continue to focus on
STEM skills and career learning.
