Leadership

The TEHCC is guided by a seven person team called the Steering Committee.  The Steering Committee is comprised of 7 Eastman employees or retirees.  Each year, a chair is selected to lead the committee.  Steering Committee members serve two year terms.  The TEHCC has several other individuals that contribute through offices and committees as well.

NOTE: If you are an Eastman employee, do not use the TEHCC email addresses to contact the officers (except the Trail Maintenance Coordinator).  Use their Eastman email address.
