one of the nation’s premier environmental policy experts, having

Ms. Duggan is the founder of SustainabiliD, a

the MI Healthy Climate Plan, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
to transition toward economywide carbon neutrality. In 2020-21, Ms.
Duggan was a policy advisor and surrogate for the Biden campaign.
Ms. Duggan was also a Biden appointee to the Biden-Sanders Unity
Climate Change Task Force. After her time in federal service, Ms.
Duggan co-founded the Smart Cities Lab, was a Partner with the
Honorable Thomas J. Ridge’s firm, RIDGE-LANE Limited Partners, and
served on the external advisory board of the University of
Michigan’s Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise and was
a Board Member at the Global Council for Science and the
Environment. She was also a Trustee of the University Liggett
School. In 2018, Ms. Duggan was named to the prestigious “40 Under
40” list by Crain’s Detroit Business.
Ms. Duggan spent nearly seven years in federal
service, including in the Obama-Biden White House as Deputy
Director for Policy to then Vice President Joe Biden for energy,
environment, climate and distressed communities. Simultaneously,
she served as Deputy Director of the Detroit Federal Working Group
to support Detroit’s revitalization. Prior to the White House, Ms.
Duggan held several senior roles at the Department of Energy,
including as Secretary Moniz’s embedded Liaison to the City of
Detroit (where she championed a citywide LED streetlight
conversion), and in the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable
Energy as Director of Stakeholder Engagement, Director of
Legislative, Regulatory & Urban Affairs, and as a Senior Policy
Advisor. She is also on the advisory boards of RockCreek, Aclima,
Inc., Walker-Miller Energy Services, and Arctaris Impact Investors.
She is a Senior Fellow with the Federation of American Scientists.
Ms. Duggan earned her B.S. in Environmental Studies from the
University of Vermont and her M.S. in Natural Resource Policy &
Behavior from the University of Michigan.
“Throughout my career, helping address this
nation’s most pressing environmental challenges has been one of my
highest priorities,” stated Ms. Duggan. “I welcome the opportunity
to work alongside the senior management team at Perma-Fix, given
the Company’s proven track record of putting science to work,
developing unique and cost-effective solutions to legacy
radioactive waste—which has not only become an urgent priority for
the safety and well-being of the community, but is also a
considerable financial liability for the nation. I believe that
Perma-Fix has the leadership, technologies and expertise to help
solve these complex problems, while dramatically reducing the
economic burden on the government and taxpayers and allowing us to
collectively be better stewards of our environment.”
Mark Duff, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We
are honored to welcome Ms. Duggan to the Board of Directors, as a
leading figure in both the environmental and energy sectors. Kerry
brings extensive experience having held senior roles in business,
government, academic, and non-profit organizations. She is
recognized and sought after as a leader in areas such as clean
energy, climate resilience, and environmental protection. We look
forward to working closely with Kerry and leveraging her unique
relationships at all levels of government to advance our objectives
to provide waste management technologies and capabilities that will
reduce adverse environmental impacts while increasing value to our
clients. We believe her experience and vision are closely aligned
with our mission.”
