New President Takes the Helm

Donald L. Swanson was elected CCA NH President on January 8, 2014. Don is an experienced CCA NH executive, having served previously for several terms as Vice President, and President, between Jeff Barnum’s separate terms; the most recent cut short by Jeff stepping down to become the Great Bay- Piscataqua Waterkeeper.
Previous VP, Bryant Bickford, briefly took the post after the resignation of Jeff Barnum, but had to resign due to personal reasons.

Mr. Swanson will be supported by Vice President elect Michael Watosky, long time Treasurer, Michael Reeve, and Secretary, Mitch Kalter. Don continues to serve on several NEFMC Advisory Committees. He has been a CCA NH member since the chapter's founding in 1998.
