I understand that Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (“ANRC”) Executive Director Randy Young is retiring.
Mr. Young’s retirement date is July 31st.
The ANRC establishes policy and makes funding and regulatory decisions relative to soil conservation, nutrient management, water rights, dam safety and water resources planning and development. It is governed by nine Commission members appointed by the governor. The Executive Director is appointed by and serves at the will of the governor.
Mr. Young has been with the ANRC for over 40 years. Further, he has served as Executive Director during all or part of the terms of Governors Clinton, Tucker, Huckabee, Beebe and Hutchinson. As ANRC Executive Director, he has also served as a member of the Arkansas Pollution Control & Ecology Commission.
Mr. Young holds a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering and a M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Arkansas and is a registered Professional Engineer.
It is my understanding that an Interim Executive Director has not yet been appointed.
