AIR FORCE NAMES BILLINGS TO ENERGY OFFICE


WASHINGTON – The Air Force recently named Kevin W. Billings as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy, Environment, Safety and Occupational Health.
As deputy assistant secretary, Billings will lead the Air Force’s senior policy and oversight office for energy, environment, safety and occupational health issues. The department’s responsibilities include providing guidance, direction and oversight of all matters pertaining to formulation, review and execution of plans, policies, programs and budgets for energy, environment, safety, and occupational health programs world-wide.

Billings will oversee a robust energy program with a strategy that seeks to integrate demand-side energy efficiency measures with a long-term commitment to supply-side alternative energy sources. The Air Force’s energy program is also working to create a culture where all Airmen make energy a consideration in everything we do.

Billings is a graduate of the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., and the Executive Development Program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Immediately prior to his position in the Air Force, Billings served as Vice President of Business Development for Enterra Solutions, LLC in Washington D.C. where he was responsible for all federal business development, planning and strategic alliances for the emerging information technology company.
