Gov. Tate Reeves announced multiple appointments to various positions across state government on Tuesday afternoon.
The appointments include:
- Amy Bland Arrington, of Hattiesburg, for an open position on the Board of Trustees of the Institutions of Higher Learning. She would represent the Second Supreme Court District, a seat left open by the death of former Board member Jeanne Luckey.
- John Dane III, of Gulfport, to remain on the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality, representing the Second Supreme Court District.
- James Douglas Moody, of Gulfport, for a position on the State Port Authority at Gulfport.
- Cass Pennington, of Indianola, to remain on the Mississippi Lottery Corporation Board of Directors.
- Drew St. John II, of Madison, for an open position on the Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, representing the Second Congressional District.
“I’m proud to make these appointments,” Reeves said in a press release. “I know these individuals have what it takes to help make our state even better. Thanks to all of the appointees for stepping up to serve in these important roles. I look forward to seeing the good things they will accomplish on behalf of Mississippians.”
All five nominees have been submitted to the Mississippi Senate for confirmation.
