Commissioner Paul Holland of Arlington, Virginia, recently stepped down from the commission at the end of his second term as a commissioner representing the Commonwealth of Virginia. At the quarterly Commission meeting on March 18, 2025, the ICPRB commissioners moved to commend Commissioner Holland for his eight years of service.

Commissioner Holland was appointed to ICPRB by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe in 2017 and re-appointed by Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in 2021.  As a commissioner, Mr. Holland led many elements of the ICPRB’s work, including serving as chair for the Audit Committee and the Nominations and Governance Committee. During ICPRB’s quarterly Commission meetings, Commissioner Holland displayed an outstanding capacity for original thought, self-reliance, and initiative. Commissioner Holland’s work on the ICPRB showed an ability to quickly develop effective working relationships with new colleagues and to address complex policy issues facing the five states and federal government located within the Potomac River watershed.

ICPRB Commissioners and staff would like to thank Mr. Holland for his service and wish him well in his future endeavors.

The ICPRB is served by three commissioners and three alternate commissioners from each of the six jurisdictions within the Potomac River watershed, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the Federal Government. See the current commissioners on ICPRB’s website >>>
