The Air District today confirmed the appointment of Alexander “Sandy” Crockett as the new district counsel, effective May 23.
Mr. Crockett will serve as chief attorney for the Air District and manage the agency’s Legal Division.

Prior to joining the Air District, Mr. Crockett practiced environmental law at various Washington DC and San Francisco law firms where he worked on a diverse set of cases. More recently, Mr. Crockett was appointed to the role of acting executive officer until a longer-term interim executive officer and ultimately a permanent executive officer is announced.
