The United States Mint is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC). The two new members will fill the vacancies
created by the expiration of appointments.
Samuel H. Gill was appointed to represent the interests of the general public, replacing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Mr. Gill is a transportation, logistics, and supply chain
technology expert who has run his own consulting business for more than 20 years. Mr. Gill is a former executive at the American Trucking Associations in Alexandria, Virginia, and
started his career with Arthur Andersen and Company in Washington D.C. He is a certified public accountant and has been an avid coin collector since childhood.
Robin Salmon was appointed as the member specially qualified in medallic art and sculpture, replacing Heidi Wastweet. A native of Columbia, South Carolina, Ms. Salmon
has been on the staff of Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve located just south of Murrells Inlet, in South Carolina, since 1975. She oversees the
acquisition, exhibition, and conservation of Brookgreen’s art, history, library, and archives collections, and directs the activities of the Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. Center
for American Sculpture, bringing prominent sculptors to Brookgreen annually for residencies, lectures, and workshops.
Congratulations, and good luck. I added a portrait of Robin Salmon found on the web. -Editor
