Aeron Arlin Genet, Planning, Monitoring & Outreach Division Manager for SLO County APCD, has headed south to Santa Barbara to take on her new role as Air Pollution Control Officer for the Santa Barbara County APCD. Aeron began her career here in 2000 and was quickly promoted to Manager of the Planning and Outreach Division in 2002. In that role, Aeron managed and oversaw all aspects of air quality planning, new development and project review, incentive and clean fuels programs, and public outreach; in the past year, she also took on oversight of our air quality monitoring programs. Aeron was also a critical leader in efforts by SLO County and local cities to prepare and implement climate action plans.

Over the past 16 years, Aeron has provided outstanding service to our agency and the public we serve. We will greatly miss her and wish her the best of luck on her new adventure.  Aeron's extensive knowledge, expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm will be a tremendous asset to the Santa Barbara APCD, and we look forward to opportunities to continue working with her in that new capacity! 

At the January 27th APCD Board Meeting, the APCD recognized Adam Hill, Supervisor of District 3, with a plaque of appreciation for his service as Chair of the Air Pollution Control District Board of Directors during the 2015 calendar year. The Chair of the APCD Board of Directors must undertake responsibilities beyond those of other Directors on the Board, including serving as the Chair of the Executive Committee, which meets separately. Mr Hill ensured meetings ran smoothly and saw that Board business throughout the year was accomplished efficiently and effectively.
