Happy New Year to Everyone!

I hope you are looking forward to a 2009 that is pleasant and productive.

With Clark Seely announcing his retirement at the end of June, I wanted folks to know what our plans are for his replacement.

Clark is the agency's Associate State Forester, and as such, is authorized to act on my behalf whenever needed across any agency issue.  This is a responsibility that is in addition to the fact that he oversees ODF's Business Sevices and Information Technology Programs.

Sometime this month you will see a job announcement for an Administrative Services Division Chief who will oversee Business Services and Information Technology.  This will be at the same level as our other Division Chiefs (...what we used to call Assistant State Foresters).  We hope to have the successful candidate for this position selected by early May.

Paul Bell will be promoted to Associate State Forester upon the date of Clark's official retirement.  As we did with Clark, Paul will keep his current duties but also assume the responsibility for acting on behalf of the State Forester whenever necessary.  As you know, Paul's current duties are Chief of the Fire Protection Division, as well as oversight of the Equipment Program.

Even with the normal legislative session coming up soon I'm expecting to get out whenever possible and welcome the opportunity to visit with you when I can.

Until then, take care and enjoy.

Marvin Brown
