New Chapter, Same Passion for Composting
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
As we bid farewell to Hessa Al Maghlouth, Industry Research and State Chapter Relations Manager, we celebrate not just her contributions to the USCC, but also her exciting new journey ahead.
Hessa came to USCC after a recommendation from Rhonda Sherman, North Carolina State University's internationally known vermiculture expert. Hessa had been working with Rhonda during her college years, and USCC brought her in right after her college graduation as an administrative assistant. She quickly took on other projects such as Young Professionals and our conference app and eventually added volunteers, chapter, and research to her experience.
Hessa leaves the USCC to pursue an MS in Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, this fall. While in Michigan, she plans to stay connected to the composting world through the Michigan Organics Council (MOC) and utilize the many resources USCC offers to remain engaged with the industry, such as the virtual YP Happy Hour. Hessa will also continue following news and discussions related to compost infrastructure in her home country, Saudi Arabia.
While we’ll miss Hessa’s presence, we’re cheering her on and wishing her continued growth and meaningful opportunities in this next chapter.
