GOVERNOR GIBBONS MAKES APPOINTMENTS TO
STATE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

 

Carson City Governor Jim Gibbons has recently made more than 160 appointments to various state boards and commissions.  More than nine hundred Nevadans serve in appointed positions on boards and commissions, overseeing many important functions of state government.  Many appointments expired at or near the change of the fiscal year on July 1st, and the governor responded with a round of new appointments and reappointments.

“Nevada is blessed with a wealth of talented individuals who are willing to serve their state at little or no cost to the taxpayers.  It is my pleasure to identify the people who have the finest qualifications as well as a desire to serve the state and to appoint them to appropriate boards or commissions.  This is one way in which I can provide Nevadans with the capable, responsive and efficient government they deserve,” said Governor Gibbons.
