CEC News:
 
MONTREAL — The Commission for Environmental Cooperation’s (CEC) Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC) has chosen Canadian JPAC member Lindsay Brumwell as committee chair for 2016.

She will succeed Mexican JPAC member Gustavo Alanís-Ortega, a lawyer and university professor at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, who has been chair during 2015.

“The Commission for Environmental Cooperation is increasingly relevant as a force for trinational cooperation on environmental issues,” Brumwell said. “I look forward to working with all our JPAC members to strengthen our role in providing advice to the CEC Council and encouraging public participation in the work of the Commission.”

Ms. Brumwell recently joined the private sector organic and functional food industry.

 
Previously, she was a trade specialist in agri-value at the Saskatchewan Trade & Export Partnership (STEP), which champions the export industry of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and assists provincial businesses in realizing global marketing opportunities.

Prior to joining STEP in July 2012, Ms. Brumwell was Trade Development Coordinator at Port Metro Vancouver (PMV).

 
She has also worked in various roles and industries, including resource extraction and stakeholder engagement, and in providing support to the multilateral negotiations processes for the Special Summit of the Americas in Monterrey, Mexico, in 2004.

Ms. Brumwell holds a bachelor of arts from the University of British Columbia (Latin American studies, minor in international relations), and a master’s diploma in international management (Latin America and Asia Pacific) from the McRae Institute of International Management of Capilano University.
