Meet the 2018 OISC Chair

Each year, the position of OISC Chair rotates between ex-officio members of the Council. This year, the OISC welcomed its 2018 Council Chair, Glenn Dolphin, from the Oregon State Marine Board. 

Glenn is the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Program Coordinator for the State Marine Board and has been with the agency for 11 years. He oversees and coordinates with program partners that the statewide AIS Prevention Program charged with protecting Oregon against the invasion of new aquatic species and managing existing populations to prevent their spread to new waterbodies.
