“We are delighted to recognize Angela Tin with the Ethanol Award,” said Mark Bunselmeyer, President of the IL Corn Growers Association and farmer from Maroa. “Her work has bridged public health, environmental protection, and fuel innovation—advancing corn-based ethanol in Illinois in a way that benefits farmers, consumers, and air quality alike.”
Angela Tin’s career spans environmental and health program leadership. She began at the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA), where she served as policy advisor to the Illinois EPA Director. In this role, she served on the implementation team for Illinois’ Emissions Reduction Market System—the nation’s first open market emissions trading program. After moving to the American Lung Association of Illinois, she led initiatives to reduce indoor air pollution (including radon abatement, healthy homes) and to advance alternative fuel use to improve lung health.
Angela holds a Bachelor of Science in Physiology from Southern Illinois University and a master’s degree in Cell Biology from the University of Illinois Springfield.
