[April 12, 2013] BRIEF: R.I. Gov. Chafee nominates 3 more to Economic Development Corp. Tweet Apr 11, 2013 (The Providence Journal - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Governor Lincoln D. Chafee has announced three more nominees to the state's Economic Development Corp. With one more opening left, he chose: Judith Diaz, RN, MPH, Director of Community Health for Lifespan; Elizabeth Francis, PhD, executive director of the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities; and Oscar T. "Tim" Hebert, chairman, president, and CEO of Atrion Networking Corporation. Chafee said these nominees -- and an earlier five -- reflect his "ongoing commitment to having Rhode Island's key industries represented on the EDC Board, in this case, health care, arts and culture, and information technology." "We are in the midst of transforming the RIEDC, and putting together a Board that understands Rhode Island's most important industries is a big part of that," Governor Chafee said. ___ (c)2013 The Providence Journal (Providence, R.I.)
