| Sheila Davis Hired as Executive Director | |
|
Davis succeeds founding leader Ted Smith, who will remain with SVTC as a Senior Strategist. Over the past 5 years, Davis has played a valuable role at SVTC and in shaping environmental policy in the high tech industry. Her experience provides a strong foundation for SVTC’s continued success. Last year she assumed the role of program manager, overseeing all programs. Davis is also the program director of SVTC’s Clean Computer Campaign and serves as a steering committee member of the national Computer TakeBack Campaign. “This is a great day for SVTC,” said Smith, who founded the organization in 1982. “Sheila and I have a wonderful working relationship. I’m really looking forward to continuing my contribution to our program work in my new capacity, knowing that the organization is in excellent hands.” “The board was very impressed with Sheila’s extensive
experience in working for environmental justice and her in-depth
knowledge of high tech’s impact on environment and health,” said
SVTC Board President Chad Raphael. “Her unique leadership of our
program areas has earned the respect of our staff and board. As
Executive Director, she will do a terrific job of leading SVTC into
the future.” |

"I'm very proud and excited that the board and staff have expressed their unanimous confidence in me" said Davis. "I love working with all the people at SVTC and I'm looking forward to our continued leadership in support of sustainable technology and environmental justice." Davis will start in her new position on July 1. Until then, she will work closely with Patricia St. Onge, who has been serving as SVTC's Interim Executive Director, to ensure a smooth transition.

| New Fact Sheet on UNICOR's Prison Electronics Recycling Programs | |
| SVTC and
the Computer TakeBack Campaign have developed an informational
report on UNICOR's federal inmate electronics recycling program that
discusses the lack of worker's rights and health and safety
standards, and describes a culture of intimidation and
injustice. The report contains quotes from inmates who have
works on the disassembly lines, and a call to action to support them
and all of the workers in the electronics supply
chain.
