Meet the New Chief Steward - Sean Carter

Starting today, there is a new Chief Steward at the union office in EPA East.  Sean Carter has served members as a steward for over six years and has been our union’s presence, and our members’ advocate, through many moves, changes, and reorganizations.  Sean plans to energize our steward corps and will be initiating stewards’ all-hands meetings to update stewards and encourage more active and full participation in chapter activities. 

Sean has worked as a statistician in OAR since 2002.  He received his undergraduate degree from Norfolk State University, where he graduated summa cum laude, and he received his Masters degree in biostatistics from Harvard University’s School of Public Health.  

Please come by and welcome Sean.  He may be reached at 202-566-2784 or carter.sean[at]epa.gov.
