National Board Of Directors -
Chairman: Eugene E. Habiger, General, USAF (Ret.):
General Eugene E. Habiger (U.S. Air Force, Retired) is recently retired as the President/CEO of the San
Antonio Water System and, as such, was responsible for the general operations of the System along with
the strategic long-range business and water resources planning. General Habiger was charged with ensuring
the timely and efficient delivery of new water sources for the San Antonio region and with ensuring a
high level of success in all operating areas of the System.
Prior to joining the San Antonio Water System, General Habiger was the Department of Energy's Director
of Security and Emergency Operations. As the Department's "Security Czar", he was responsible for
implementing the Secretary's security reform plan and oversaw all security functions, including safeguards
and security policy, cyber-security, critical infrastructure protection, foreign visits and assignments,
and emergency operations functions. He was charged by the Secretary with changing the security culture at
DoE and establishing a program to re-energize and restore confidence in the Department's Security Program.
General Habiger has over 35 years of experience in National Security and Nuclear Operations. In his
previous assignment as the Commander in Chief of United States Strategic Command, he was responsible for
all U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy strategic nuclear forces supporting the national security objective of
strategic deterrence. In this position he established an unprecedented military-to-military relationship
with his Russian counterparts and extraordinary confidence building and openness resulted. This initiative
was the centerpiece of a 60 Minutes II segment in February 2000 and a CNN special in October 2000.
He is a command pilot with more than 5,000 flying hours, primarily in bomber aircraft. During the Vietnam
War, he flew 150 combat missions. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Ted Turner's Nuclear Threat
Initiative Foundation, Armed Services YMCA and the Fisher House Foundation of San Antonio.
