On the Move: Week of September 4, 2023

The American Chemistry Council (ACC) announced Ross Eisenberg, Vice President of Federal Affairs at ACC, will take the helm of ACC’s Plastics Division and lead the association’s plastics advocacy beginning on Sept. 18. The move fills the vacancy created in the Plastics Division last June.

A lawyer by training, Eisenberg joined ACC in early 2020 after nearly eight years leading energy and resources policy with the National Association of Manufacturers.

In total, he brings more than two decades of political, legal and regulatory experience to ACC’s Plastics Division.

Beyond Plastics, a nationwide project based at Bennington College, continues to expand with the recent addition of two new staff members. The organization has appointed Jess Conard — a highly effective advocate from East Palestine, Ohio — as its first-ever Appalachia director and Nyah Estevez as a New York City-based community organizer.

Conard is a licensed speech pathologist who quit her job and dove headfirst into grassroots advocacy after a train carrying vinyl chloride derailed in her East Palestine community in February.

Estevez is a skilled environmental advocate and grassroots organizer hailing from New York City, where she’ll be assisting Beyond Plastics in its nationwide grassroots efforts.
