GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Joe Joyce, IFAS’ executive associate vice president for agriculture and natural resources, has been named to the state’s environmental regulation commission.

His three-year term began April 11 and ends in July 2011. The commission meets about once a month and approves air, water and waste management standards.

The commission’s seven members are appointed by the governor and represent agriculture, the development industry, local government, the environmental community, citizens and members of the scientific and technical community.

Joyce, a Jacksonville native, joined IFAS in 1983 as director of the Center for Aquatic Plants. He became associate vice president for agriculture and natural resources in 1994.
