In his new position, Stevenson's previous responsibilities for the
company's fleet (1,200 vehicles) and materials management have been
expanded to include purchasing. "The overall efficiency and productivity
these departments will benefit from increased collaboration within the
newly combined group," said Aqua America CFO Dave Smeltzer, under whose
organization the position now falls. "It's a natural fit to place our
purchasing operation in the same arena as our inventory and materials
management operation."

positions of increased responsibility before being promoted to manager
of fleet in 2001. He was promoted to his most recent position of manager
of fleet and materials management in 2007, assuming responsibility for
materials management including vendor management, inventory control and
maintenance, and materials management systems.
Stevenson earned his B.S. in automotive technology Management from Penn
State University. His professional memberships include the National
Association of Fleet Administrators, the Society of Automotive
Engineers, and the Automotive Service Association of Pennsylvania. In
his role at Aqua, he received the 2014 Sustainability All-Star Winner at

consumption. He is on the Education Foundation Board of Directors of
