Douglas N. Stracener, a DAN Member, NAUI Instructor and longtime attorney based in Baton Rouge, La., has joined the DAN Board of Directors effective immediately.
Stracener, 55, joins William Anlyan, Dennis H. Liberson, Dr. E. Wayne Massey, Lee Selisky and Kathy Weydig as new members on the 11-member board for 2004-2005. He replaces Dick Long, whose term on the board has expired.
Prior to Stracener joining the board, at a meeting last week, board members chose Anlyan as its new chairman. He is a partner with Anlyan and Hively Wealth Management and certified scuba and nitrox diver.
"I welcome Mr. Stracener's addition to the board," said DAN President and CEO Michael D. Curley, Ph.D. "As he has been a DAN Member since 2000, he is familiar with our organization and its vision and mission. I look forward to his helping guide DAN toward fulfilling its goal of being the leading dive health and safety research organization."
Stracener was admitted to practice law in Louisiana in 1977. From that year, he was a member of the Stracener, Stracener and Stracener firm engaged in general criminal and civil law before starting his own similar practice from 1999 through the present. He also is a notary public, a licensed commercial pilot and a communications officer with the state of Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness. As the latter, Stracener coordinates statewide amateur "ham" radio operators to serve as active communication support specialists to state and local government agencies during emergency operations, usually weather-related.
As a NAUI Instructor, Stracener has trained students from basic open-water through master diver courses, as well as nitrox, drysuit specialty checkout and rescue diver training and checkout. He teaches at Underwater Adventures Inc., a DAN Business Member operation in Baton Rouge.
In his application to be on the DAN Board of Directors, Stracener wrote: "I am excited about its ongoing research on dive medical, safety and associated research areas, and would love to work on behalf of the leading edge organization in this field."
