Einhorn Resigns From SBWA

Donald Einhorn, Executive Director of the South Branch Watershed Association environmental group, will leave his job next month to move to New England.

Don is moving to New Hampshire with his wife, who recently joined the staff at Dartmouth Medical School.  They will be relocating to the upper valley of the Connecticut River, where Don plans to seek environmental organization or regional planning work.

Einhorn, 43, has been with the SBWA since March 2004. For more than seven years before that, he had been an attorney with Guy DeSapio, whose jobs include serving as county counsel.

South Branch Watershed Association is searching for a new Executive Director, mostly through Internet environmental sites.

The 46-year-old county organization has five paid staffers and an operating budget of almost $300,000, exclusive of land acquisition programs, he said. It operates from the former home of Robert and Hermia Lechner, who helped found the group, in the Echo Hill (Clinton Township) section of the county parks system.

The group focuses on water testing, river monitoring, regional planning, environmental education, wastewater and stormwater planning issues. It hosts the Green Table environmental forums.
