The Kentucky-based recycling company Industrial Services of America Inc. (ISA) has announced the election of Orson Oliver to the post of chairman of its board of directors. Oliver has been a director of ISA since 2005. He is currently an independent business consultant with more than 35 years of experience in banking and financial consulting. Oliver began his career in 1968 as an attorney with the U.S. Treasury Department.

Harry Kletter, ISA founder and CEO, was elected vice chairman of the board. Kletter has been an ISA director since 1983.

"I am pleased that Orson has agreed to serve as chairman of our board," says Kletter. "He has demonstrated experience and expertise as an executive and board member at a number of organizations over the course of his career. We value his judgment and look forward to his leadership of our board."

Oliver says, "I would like to thank Harry for his vote of confidence as I assume the leadership of the board at ISA. Clearly, I will have large shoes to fill, as Harry's 60 years of experience in the scrap and waste businesses are virtually unparalleled. I am grateful that Harry has agreed to be the vice chairman of the board, and I look forwarding to leading ISA in the years to come."

ISA also elected Alan Gildenberg to its board. Gildenberg has more than 30 years of experience in the financial industry as an investment advisor and also an independent floor trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
