Sierra Club PR chapter names new president
By THE STAR STAFF
Attorney Zoé Negrón Comas has assumed the presidency of the Puerto Rico Chapter of the Sierra Club, Chapter Director Hernaliz Vázquez Torres announced this week in a press release.
Negrón is an attorney whose practice focuses on bankruptcy law, consumer protection, litigation and matters related to the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, commonly known as PROMESA.
In addition, she has collaborated closely with the local Sierra Club chapter for years in advocating for social and environmental justice, particularly in matters related to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and the privatization of the energy system.
Negrón’s legal experience and deep understanding of those issues will strengthen the chapter’s leadership and the work it continues to do in island communities, Vázquez Torres noted.
“I warmly welcome you to this new role and I know that, together with our membership, volunteers and allied organizations, we will continue to build an ever stronger Chapter,” Vázquez Torres said.
