It is with great sadness that ECA marks the passing of Tony Carter, Senior Policy Advisor in the Department of Energy’s Office of Legacy Management. Tony was a good friend to ECA, regularly participating in ECA meetings, and always aiming to ensure open lines of communication between DOE and local governments. Tony worked to understand local issues, identify cooperative approaches and always demonstrated real concern for the
well-being of our communities.
Tony was born and raised in South Carolina. A proud Gamecock, he moved to Washington, DC, after graduating from the University of South Carolina to work on Capitol Hill for Michigan Congressman George Crocket and then for South Carolina Congressman Robin Tallon. After leaving the Hill, Tony joined the U.S. Department of Energy where he held numerous positions and received a number of awards recognizing his hard work and
dedication.
ECA Executive Director, Seth Kirshenberg remembers, “Tony was a friend. He was a great at participating and speaking with people about the issues around their sites. He cared about everyone in the communities and it showed. Tony will be missed by us all.”
