• Josh Ensign serves as president for Proterra Transit.

Ensign states that the road to the future of zero-emission transportation begins with public transit.

"At NSC, we're committed to deepening our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of the organization — and it starts at the top," said Lorraine Martin, NSC president and CEO. "While our work on this front is never complete, Chair Beitler and I are proud that our board represents a diverse group of the nation's leading safety experts who will enrich perspectives to propel our mission to save lives and prevent injuries, from the workplace to anyplace."

Beitler is stepping into her new role as NSC Board Chair after serving on the Board for the past five years. Previously, she was chief executive officer at BROWZ LLC, a global software and service provider. Prior to that, she spent 13 years at Bowne & Co. Inc., a shareholder and marketing communication services company, where she was corporate officer, president of marketing and business communications, and chief information officer. She currently serves on the boards of privately held companies.

"The National Safety Council has such a tremendous mission, and it's an honor to serve in this new role to help advance that," said Beitler. "Not only has the pandemic forced us to face the single greatest workplace safety threat in a generation, but it's also exacerbated other safety hazards, such as substance use, misuse and mental health distress as well as higher fatalities in our workplaces and on our roads. That's why our work is more important now than ever, and I look forward to working with the Board members, both existing and new, the NSC staff and many great partners around the world to create a safer environment for all."
