The Hoosier Environmental Council is an environmental not-for-profit organization based in Indiana.  One of their most important annual tasks is tracking bills going through the Indiana General Assembly looking carefully at how they will impact the state’s air, land, and water.  The General Assembly was in session from January through March this year.  This presentation will summarize the bills that have the potential to impact Indiana’s lakes, with special emphasis on those that are were enacted.

Our presenter for this first webinar will be Dr. Indra Frank. Dr. Frank earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Pomona College and her MD from Johns Hopkins University.  She did a residency in pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle, then served 4 years on active duty in the US Air Force Medical Core. 

Dr. Frank practiced pathology until 2004 when she shifted her career to environmental health.  She earned a master’s degree in public health from Indiana University and has since worked in environmental health programs, education, and policy.  She currently serves as the Environmental Health and Water Policy Director for the Hoosier Environmental Council.
