DENVER—Danielle F. Waterfield, assistant counsel and director of government relations at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI), was elected as a director of the Foundation for State Legislatures Board by the NCSL Executive Committee during the National Conference of State Legislatures’ (NCSL) 2014 Legislative Summit in Minneapolis in August. ReMA is a non-profit trade association representing the sophisticated, capital-intensive scrap recycling industry.
NCSL, a bipartisan organization serving the nation’s 7,383 legislators and more than 20,000 legislative staff, created the Foundation as a nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation in 1982. Its sponsors—businesses, national associations, nonprofit organizations and unions—work to improve the state legislative process and enhance NCSL's services to all legislatures. In addition to helping lawmakers confront and solve critical issues through public-private dialogue, the Foundation supports the Center for Ethics in Government and the Women’s Legislative Network, among other special projects.
Waterfield directs state legislative policy programs for ISRI, coordinating policy efforts at the state and local levels in collaboration with the industry’s 21 state chapters. She has more than 20 years of legal and legislative experience in the public and private sectors, including positions as legislative floor staff for the United States Senate and legislative/legal assistant for the Washington, D.C. office of an international law firm. She most recently was chief operations officer for a small trade association representing automotive dismantlers.
Waterfield graduated from Mount Vernon College of George Washington University and received her law degree from the George Mason University School of Law. She is a member of the Virginia State Bar, the United States Supreme Court Bar, the American Bar Association and the American Society of Association Executives.
“As the voice of the recycling industry, ReMA looks forward to sharing its unique perspectives on environmental and business issues with state legislators as part of the NCSL Foundation board of directors,” said Robin Wiener, president of ISRI. “The recycling industry is responsible for nearly half a million jobs across the country in each and every state. ReMA is pleased to be able to offer its wide range of resources and expertise to help enhance NCSL Foundation programs.”
The Foundation’s volunteer board of directors is composed of corporate, trade association and union executives, as well as state legislative leaders and senior legislative staff. The directors serve one-year terms, with the possibility of renewal for up to seven years.
