Dickinson Joins Sanitation Board

Joshua Dickinson is the newest member of the Alexandria Sanitation Authority’s board of directors, replacing Elise Fulstone.

Dickinson currently serves as the deputy executive director with the WateReuse Association, which is based in Alexandria. He holds a Master’s in Environmental Science and Policy from Johns Hopkins.

“I am honored to be selected by the Council and entrusted with this responsibility,” Dickinson said in a statement. “ASA is a leader in the wastewater industry and I am definitely looking forward to being a part of this board.”

Fulstone has served on the board of directors since 1994. During last month’s meeting, Edward Semonian was elected to assume the secretary-treasurer position that Fulstone had held.

Board members are appointed to four-year staggered terms and are responsible for general oversight of the ASA, ensuring compliance with a variety of state laws, including the Virginia Water and Wastewater Authorities Act.

“Mr. Dickinson has unique experience and sets of skills which will truly be an asset to ASA,” said board Chair Tom Van Wagner in an introduction for Dickinson’s first official board meeting. “We are very excited to have him here, and we welcome what he can bring to this board and organization.”
