Environmental Advisory Council (EAC)  
The Abington Township EAC was formally created in 1974. The Council’s charge is found in Chapter 10 of the Code of the Township of Abington. Some of these responsibilities now fall under the purview of a township department rather than the volunteer EAC board. The EAC consists of seven township residents appointed by the Board of Commissioners. Each member serves as a volunteer on the Council for a term of 3 years. Current EAC members include:
• Jennifer Sherwood, Chairperson
• Cakky Braun-Evans
• Donna Brewer
• Joelle Greenland
• Michele Kaczalek
• Susan Myerov
• Vacancy

Shade Tree Commission (STC)
The Abington Township STC was created in 1975. The Commission’s duties are provided in Chapter 42 of the Code of the Township of Abington. Again, some of these responsibilities fall under the auspices of a township department rather than the volunteer STC board. The STC is comprised of five township residents appointed by the Board of Commissioners. Each member serves as a volunteer on the Commission for a term of 5 years. Current STC members include:
• Rita Stevens, Chair
• John Kennedy
• Jeff Pyle
• Elaine Rosenberg
