EIB Appointments Completed

Governor Martinez

LAS CRUCES – Governor Susana Martinez announced today that she has made nominations to fill the three remaining positions on the state’s Environmental Improvement Board. The Governor announced the first four nominations yesterday. “I have asked the Environmental Improvement Board to work diligently to balance economic growth with the need to protect New Mexico’s natural beauty,” said Governor Martinez. “In order to move New Mexico forward, the EIB must strive to make decisions based on scientific evidence and common sense. Injecting politics into the business that comes before the EIB only does a disservice to our state as we strive to attract business, foster growth, and get our economy back on track.” The additional EIB nominees are: Jeff Bryce is the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Sierra Peaks Corporation, an engineering design firm in Albuquerque. Gregory Fulfer is a rancher and business owner from Jal; he is also the Chairman of the Lea County Board of Commissioners. John Volkerding is the General Manager of Basin Disposal, a salt water disposal company in Farmington. He previously managed the New Mexico Department of Energy’s Oversight Bureau in Albuquerque.
