&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Young Women’s Initiative:
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Launched in 2016, the Young Women’s Initiative of Minnesota (YWI MN) is a partnership between the Governor’s Office, the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, and the YWCA. The YWI MN cabinet consists of young women and gender-expansive youth aged 16-24.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;YWI MN centers the leadership and solutions of young women of color, American Indian young women, young women from Greater Minnesota, LGBTQ+ youth, young women with disabilities, and gender-expansive youth. The initiative brings together nonprofits, businesses, government, philanthropies, and young women to promote equitable systems that benefit all, grounded in the belief that when young Black, Indigenous, and women of color in Minnesota thrive, families and communities thrive. The YWI MN’s statewide partnership and direct investments in young women and gender-expansive people are now being replicated across the nation through the National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives.&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced they have opened an expanded application process, including the use of a dedicated professional recruiter from Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB), to complete the national search for the new director of the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). They also formally appointed Charlene Briner as interim director of OCM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;I’m excited to have Charlene Briner leading this office while we continue our national search for a permanent director,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“For the last eight months, Charlene has worked tirelessly across state agencies to build the new Office of Cannabis Management from the ground up. I’m grateful for the work being done to not only revamp our vetting process but also expand our recruiting process. Today’s news marks months of work to modernize state government as we work to remain competitive with the private sector and bring talented executives into public service.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Charlene Briner is a highly-qualified leader who has delivered great results for the state of Minnesota in several roles. I’m grateful for Charlene’s dedication and effectiveness in standing up the Office of Cannabis Management,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“As we continue the search for a permanent director, I know she will continue to move the office and implementation forward.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Charlene Briner has led OCM implementation since June of 2023, and has successfully built a team at OCM, started the stakeholder outreach for the rulemaking process, and coordinated cross-agency work to stand up the new office within the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Briner previously served as deputy commissioner at the Minnesota Department of Human Services and the Minnesota Department of Education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;As part of its role as the state’s human resources department, MMB oversees the overall recruitment strategy throughout the state, region, and nation – using dedicated professional recruiters and employment events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;On May 30, 2023, Governor Walz signed a bill making Minnesota the 23rd state to legalize adult-use cannabis. The law established OCM to regulate cannabis, issue licenses, and develop regulations outlining how and when businesses can participate in the industry. The director serves as the chief executive and administrative officer of OCM and plays a key leadership role in establishing and regulating the new adult-use cannabis market in Minnesota.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Applications will be accepted through Monday, February 26, with a final candidate to be named at the conclusion of the search.

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced cabinet vacancies and reappointments for their second term. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor thanked the entire Walz-Flanagan cabinet for their dedication and contribution to the lives of Minnesotans over the past four years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I’m grateful to our entire cabinet for their years of service to Minnesota,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“Together, we made historic investments in education, achieved the lowest unemployment rate of any state in history, and protected the health and safety of Minnesotans. I look forward to building the team that will help us kick off our second term.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Minnesotans were well-served by this cabinet during our first term,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“Whether increasing access to child care, investing in housing access, or facing a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, these cabinet leaders have performed incredibly in the spirit of One Minnesota.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan thanked the following cabinet members for their exceptional service and wish them well after their years of leadership:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm&lt;/strong&gt; , who has spent her career serving Minnesotans, has chosen not to seek reappointment in Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan’s second term. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor are grateful for Malcolm’s steadfast leadership through the COVID-19 pandemic and appreciate the work she has done to build equity into Minnesota’s public health systems. Malcolm helped Minnesota lead the nation with COVID vaccine and testing policies and led an effort to modernize and expand the system for overseeing long-term care facilities. Malcolm served as Commissioner of Health from 1999 to 2003, was appointed again by Governor Mark Dayton in January 2018, and was then reappointed by Governor Walz in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Working with Governor Walz and his team to help Minnesota navigate the COVID-19 pandemic was the most challenging and meaningful work I’ve done in my career, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve,”&lt;/strong&gt; Commissioner Malcolm said. &lt;strong&gt;“Public health at its best has the power to save lives and lift up communities, and this isn’t the work of any one person or any one organization. We all owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of unsung public health heroes in federal, state, and local health departments who are building a better, healthier future for their neighbors and their communities. I am so proud to have done this work with my colleagues at the Minnesota Department of Health and our local public health partners, as well as our health care systems and community organizations, over the course of my career. I know they will continue the vital work of protecting, maintaining, and improving the health of all Minnesotans.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commissioner of Public Safety John Harrington&lt;/strong&gt; has chosen not to seek reappointment in Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan’s second term. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor celebrate Harrington’s nearly 45-years in government service – 35 years in law enforcement – and thank him for his tireless work to protect the health and safety of people across Minnesota. Harrington served the state through historic times, including the murder of George Floyd, oversaw significant police reform initiatives, and problem-solved to help local governments across the state protect public safety. Harrington led DPS to recognize cancer as a potential cause of death in the line of duty for emergency responders, worked with public service and community groups to hand out more than 30,000 gun locks, and addressed challenges with the Minnesota Licensing and Registration System to more seamlessly modernize license and vehicle registration, including self-service options for Minnesotans. Harrington was appointed by Governor Walz in January 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I thank Governor Walz for giving me the opportunity to serve as the 14th Commissioner of Public Safety and the opportunity to not only to be his public safety and homeland security policy advisor, but to also be the leader of this magnificent department,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Commissioner Harrington. &lt;strong&gt;“I also thank all the members of the department – whether they work in victims’ services, emergency service, law enforcement, or Driver and Vehicle Services, they are the true backbone of the department that allows all the work to be done.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commissioner of Education Dr. Heather Mueller&lt;/strong&gt; has chosen not to seek reappointment in Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan’s second term. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor are grateful for Dr. Mueller’s continued focus on helping all Minnesota students have access to a world-class education. Dr. Mueller built systems and structures alongside school leaders to create continuity of learning throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. She worked tirelessly to prioritize the health and well-being of students, staff, and families by providing COVID testing for schools and vaccinations for educators to get kids back into their classroom. Dr. Mueller also created the Due North Education Plan, and she helped pass a historic education budget that ensured students were seen, valued, and heard in their learning. Dr. Mueller started her career at Mankato Area Public Schools as a social studies teacher, and has served as MDE’s senior director of teaching and learning, assistant commissioner, and deputy commissioner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I am honored and humbled to have been asked to serve alongside the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, particularly in such a tumultuous time for our public schools. From launching Due North to passing historic investments in public education, to helping our schools navigate a global pandemic, I’m grateful for it all and proud of the work we did together,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Commissioner Mueller. &lt;strong&gt;“As this term comes to an end, I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for me to close this chapter of my life.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commissioner of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Mark Phillips&lt;/strong&gt; has chosen not to seek reappointment in Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan’s second term. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor appreciate Phillips’ decades of service to Minnesotans and wish him well in his retirement. Phillips led IRRR as commissioner under Governor Mark Dayton and Governor Walz, and has more than 35 years of leadership in business, community, and workforce development. Improving the quality of life – for both residents and visitors – is at the forefront of his approach to economic development in northeastern Minnesota.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It has been my privilege and honor to serve northeastern Minnesota as a representative of the Walz-Flanagan Administration,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Commissioner Phillips. &lt;strong&gt;“Whether expanding child care, increasing broadband access, improving downtowns, strengthening education, or enhancing outdoor recreation, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make the region stronger and better positioned for the future.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan also announced the following reappointments:&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – The Minnesota State Board of Investment voted today to select Jill Schurtz to serve as the board’s Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer. The board, which oversees over $120 billion in state pension and other funds, is comprised of Governor Tim Walz, State Auditor Julie Blaha, Secretary of State of Steve Simon, and Attorney General Keith Ellison.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The board’s decision comes after Mansco Perry III announced his intention to retire from the position later this year. Perry has led the SBI since 2013, and has overseen extraordinary gains for the benefit of thousands of Minnesota employees and retirees. The board thanked Perry for his many years leadership and service to the state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Schurtz has served as the Chief Investment Officer and Executive Director of the St. Paul Teachers’ Retirement Fund Association since 2014. In that role, she is responsible for the fund’s $1.2 billion investment program and the administration of $120 million of annual pension benefits. She was previously the CEO of Robeco-Sage, an asset management firm. Schurtz is a graduate of the United States Military Academy, West Point, and she served seven years in the United States Army, where she attained the rank of Captain. Following her military service, she received her law degree from Columbia Law School.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The board selected Schurtz after she was recommended by a search committee chaired by Gary Martin, Chief Investment Officer at Macalester College. The search committee included representatives of the state’s three largest pension funds, the State Board of Investment members, and the board’s Investment Advisory Council. The search committee worked with Korn Ferry—a well-regarded search firm—to conduct a national search and vet candidates. After conducting an interview with Schurtz, the board offered her the position of Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer. The board also authorized the search committee to finalize the terms and conditions of Schurtz’s employment.&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced the appointment of Tadd Johnson to the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. Regent Johnson will fill a vacancy for a member from the Eighth Congressional District created following the resignation of Regent David McMillan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I am proud to appoint Regent Tadd Johnson – the first Native person ever appointed to this board,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“With a background in leadership, education, and deep understanding of government on all levels, he brings a wealth of higher education expertise to this group.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Regent Tadd Johnson will give a voice to the many Native students who have been underrepresented for too long,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“This historic appointment is made possible by the continued advocacy from tribes, community members, and leaders across the state to see representation at every level. As a University of Minnesota alum, I couldn’t be more proud of this appointment.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;I am honored to be appointed as a Regent to the University of Minnesota, and thank Governor Walz for his confidence in my ability to serve the entire Eighth Congressional District,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Regent Tadd Johnson. &lt;strong&gt;“My father was an auto mechanic from Ely with a high school diploma who worked in the mines and my mother was a Native American whose dream of graduating from the University in the 1940&apos;s was cut short because there was no help for Native Americans. As a retired professor, I have first-hand knowledge of the struggles students face on a day-to-day basis, along with the faculty and staff who are devoted to teaching and nurturing them during their educational journey. I want to speak for the voices that are not heard often enough by the Regents; the students, the educators, Native Americans, rural Minnesotans and the working class. That&apos;s where I come from and that&apos;s who I am.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Johnson recently retired from the University of Minnesota system after serving as the first Senior Director of American Indian Tribal Nations Relations for the University of Minnesota, a full Professor, and the Director of Graduate Studies for the University of Minnesota – Duluth’s Department of American Indian Studies. He is currently serving as a senior advisor on government affairs for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians. An enrolled member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, Johnson is a licensed attorney and graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Johnson previously served as a tribal court judge for the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa Indians, the Prairie Island Indian Community, the 1854 Authority, the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, and Leech Lake Appellate Courts. He also has served as the Solicitor General (General Counsel) and the Director of Government Affairs for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians, and he was appointed by President Clinton to serve as Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission, the federal agency which regulates Indian gaming nationwide. Johnson was the creator, co-host, and co-producer of PBS “Native Report” for ten years; the founding senior partner for Johnson, Hamilton, Quigley, Twait and Foley law firm; and, from 1990-95, the Staff Director and Counsel for the U.S. House of Representative’s Subcommittee on Native American Affairs. In 2017, he was appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve on the Board of Trustees for the Udall Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced 9 new appointments to the Young Women’s Cabinet. Comprised of 26 young women, the Cabinet is a part of the Young Women’s Initiative of Minnesota, a public-private systems change partnership with the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota to achieve equity in opportunities and improve the lives of the lives of young Black, Indigenous, and women of color; young women from Greater Minnesota; LGBTQ+ youth; and young women with disabilities. The Cabinet is composed of young leaders from communities across the state that experience some of the greatest disparities in opportunities and outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The young women appointed today to the Young Women’s Cabinet are reflective of the best and brightest leaders in Minnesota,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“Through this partnership, we ask young women directly what we can do better to improve opportunities in every community. I am grateful for the work they will do in pursuit of solutions to the challenges facing young women across the state.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Our young women are powerful. We know that young women are leaders within and outside their communities,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“This initiative is a demonstration of our commitment to center the voices, stories, and ideas of young women – especially those from Black, Indigenous, and people of color; Greater Minnesota; LGBTQ+; and/or disability communities – in our decisions to build a stronger, more equitable state for all Minnesotans.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Through seven years of the Young Women’s Initiative of Minnesota, we have seen the transformational vision and power of young women and gender-expansive people who are leading today. When we listen and center their solutions, we all win,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Gloria Perez, President &amp;amp; CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, and a co-chair of the Executive Council. &lt;strong&gt;“We are proud to be invested in building power with the Young Women’s Cabinet alongside Governor Walz, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan, and the cross-sector leadership of the Executive Council for the Young Women’s Initiative.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Today, Governor Tim Walz announced an application process to select the Ombudsperson for Corrections to oversee the Office of the Ombuds for Corrections, which fields and investigates complaints about correctional facilities in Minnesota and provides policy recommendations to the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) Commissioner. Ombudsperson Mark Haase, who re-started and led the office for the past two years, has accepted a position with the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office and tendered his resignation, effective Jan. 5, 2022. Governor Walz will appoint Assistant Ombuds Margaret Zadra to serve as interim Ombudsperson during the application process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It’s critical that we build accountability and transparency into our corrections system”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“I look forward to partnering with leaders from across the state to find the next Ombudsperson to carry on Mr. Haase’s good work toward achieving humane, safe, and secure correctional facilities in Minnesota.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“In order to build a more just and effective criminal justice system in Minnesota, we must ensure that everyone – those who work in the corrections system, people who are incarcerated, and their families – can be heard,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“We will look for a dedicated public servant with a proven track record as a passionate advocate for justice to step into this role.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Department of Corrections Ombudsperson
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;The Ombudsperson for Corrections oversees the Office of the Ombuds for Corrections, which serves as a neutral arbiter to field and investigate complaints regarding state prisons and county jails. The Ombudsperson also provides policy recommendations to the DOC Commissioner. The Office of the Ombuds for Corrections was initially established in 1972 by Governor Wendell Anderson in Executive Order 74-14 as an independent agency in the executive branch, then by the legislature as an independent agency in 1973. The office was eliminated by the legislature in 2003 but reinstated by a bill passed during the 2019 legislative session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Hiring Process
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Governor Walz will convene an advisory hiring panel made up of public- and private-sector experts to screen applicants for the appointment. The hiring panel will search for a fair, experienced, and civic-minded individual to serve as the head of the office designed to oversee investigations and develop strong relationships with corrections employees, incarcerated persons, and other stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced the appointment of John Tuma to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Tuma will receive his second consecutive appointment to the PUC and will serve a term effective March 29, 2021 and expiring on January 4, 2027.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“For years, Commissioner Tuma has been devoted to ensuring that Minnesota’s lights stay on and our power remains reliable.

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz today appointed seven new members to the Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board, which is responsible for setting regulations and controlling the training and licensing of police officers in Minnesota. The diverse slate of appointees will fill seven vacancies, including two new positions created by the Minnesota Police Accountability Act, which the Governor signed in July.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“These appointees will bring extensive experience and diverse voices that will help ensure the POST Board is responsive to the needs of our communities. I’m proud of their commitment to reforming policing in a way that brings greater accountability and makes all Minnesotans feel safe,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“After the death of George Floyd, we engaged Minnesotans across the state in conversations around criminal justice reform. We’ve heard an overwhelming desire for greater transparency and accountability. This is one important step toward those goals.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“These measures to increase transparency and accountability in policing are a direct result of the advocacy of Minnesotans following the murder of George Floyd. We heard their calls for justice and are committed to making sure all Minnesotans feel safe and valued,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“I look forward to working with these incredible leaders on the challenges ahead to reform policing in Minnesota.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;“ &lt;strong&gt;These new appointees bring a wealth of experience and the diverse perspectives needed to help shape the future of the POST Board&lt;/strong&gt; ,” said POST Board Chair Kelly McCarthy. “ &lt;strong&gt;The Board, working in conjunction with the Ensuring Police Excellence and Improving Community Relations Advisory Council, will work to further amplify the good work of so many of our Minnesota Peace Officers while increasing transparency and informing best practices for years to come&lt;/strong&gt; .”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;I appreciate the chance to have served on the POST Board. It was really meaningful, particularly in light of what happened to my nephew and being able to contribute to how we consider training and licensure in the profession of policing. But I feel that my skills are better used working with youth more directly and helping in the community now,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Clarence Castile. &lt;strong&gt;“I’m looking forward to seeing this new slate of appointees weigh-in on the important issues before the Board, particularly Justin Terrell and the wealth of knowledge and relationships he will bring.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;In July, Governor Walz signed the Minnesota Police Accountability Act, authored by members of the People of Color and Indigenous (POCI) Caucus, which will begin to address systemic inequities in Minnesota’s criminal justice system. The bill included a robust framework of accountability law enforcement through:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot; xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expansion of the POST Board and creation of a Police-Community Relations Council at the POST Board&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reforming how arbitrations of the termination of law enforcement officers are handled&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Requiring robust, real-time data collection and analysis of complaint, discipline and use of force data and use it to inform reforms at the POST Board, particularly as it relates to licensure decisions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The POST Board recently underwent an extensive external audit that identified several areas of improvement, from pre-service education reform to transforming the Board’s regulatory function. The Board has begun implementing many of the recommendations, such as an overhaul of its rules. These new appointees, along with current Board members, will work toward engaging peace officers, the community, and stakeholders across the spectrum in prioritizing the recommendations and ensuring the Board is focused on how to improve effectiveness, transparency, and trust in law enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The Governor appointed the following people to serve on the POST Board:&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced appointments to the Executive Council for the Young Women’s Initiative and the Young Women’s Cabinet. Both bodies of leadership are part of the Young Women’s Initiative of Minnesota, a public-private systems change partnership with the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota to achieve equity in opportunities and improve the lives of young Black, Indigenous, and women of color. The Executive Council includes leaders from business, academic, non-profit, and government sectors. The Cabinet is composed of young leaders from communities across the state that experience some of the greatest disparities in opportunities and outcomes. Appointments are effective through January 2, 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It’s my honor to elevate the leadership of these extraordinary young women from communities across Minnesota,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“The best way to ensure that young women have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive is by asking them directly what we can do to improve their community. I look forward to working with the incredible leaders on both the Cabinet and Executive Council to achieve a better, more equitable Minnesota.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I am encouraged by the growing number of young women leaders throughout Minnesota. Now more than ever, it is essential that we continue to uplift the voices of women from diverse backgrounds,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“The Young Women’s Cabinet is a demonstration of our continued commitment to center young women in our decisions to improve the lives of all Minnesotans. Thank you to the young women who applied and shared their powerful voices, ideas, and stories with us. We are so grateful for and inspired by every one of you.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“With the leadership of the Executive Council and the continued leadership of the Young Women’s Cabinet, Minnesota is ready for a much-needed transformation that positions young women and their families at the center of solutions&lt;/strong&gt; ,” said Gloria Perez, President &amp;amp; CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, and a co-chair of the Executive Council. “ &lt;strong&gt;I look forward to partnering with the Young Women’s Cabinet and the Executive Council to activate the power of our state’s young women and achieve gender and racial equity. When young Black, Indigenous, and women of color in Minnesota thrive, all young women, families, and communities thrive.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The YWI MN includes a Cabinet, which is comprised of young women and gender-expansive youth aged 16-24, and an Executive Council, which is comprised of leaders from government, business, academia, philanthropy, and nonprofits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;YWI MN centers the leadership and solutions of young women of color, American Indian young women, young women from Greater Minnesota, LGBTQ+ youth, and young women with disabilities. The initiative brings together nonprofits, businesses, government, philanthropies, and young women to promote equitable systems that benefit all, grounded in the belief that when young Black, Indigenous, and women of color in Minnesota thrive, families and communities thrive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The Young Women’s Initiative of Minnesota has reached more than 4,300 young women and their families directly across intersecting areas of economic opportunity, safety, and leadership; made community investments of $1.76 million to 58 organizations, 80% led by women of color to advance the Blueprint for Action; engaged 91 women as members of the Young Women’s Cabinet; made 78 “I Believe in You” grants, direct investments in the ideas and solutions of young women through the WFMN Innovators program; and published 10 original research reports focused on young women’s leadership and solutions, including Impacts of the Young Women’s Initiative on the State’s Labor Market. The Young Women’s Initiative’s statewide partnership and direct investments in young women are now being replicated across the nation through the National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives.&lt;/p&gt;</BodyText><Author/><id>466571</id><pubdate>2021-01-30T01:53:40Z</pubdate></list><list><metadata><Type><Description/><Title>Newsroom</Title><Id>361527</Id><Key/></Type><Type><Description/><Title>Boards and Commissions</Title><Id>408560</Id><Key/></Type><DublinCore><Description/><Audience/><Title/><Publisher/><Source/><Rights/><Identifier/><Format/><Language>eng</Language><SubjectControlled/></DublinCore></metadata><Title>Walz, Flanagan Announce Appointments </Title><title>2021-1-14 Walz, Flanagan Announce Appointments</title><url>&lt;custom:Link urlOnly=&quot;true&quot; type=&quot;Component&quot; destination=&quot;tcm:1055-463245&quot; templateURI=&quot;tcm:0-0-0&quot; origin=&quot;tcm:0-0-0&quot;  /&gt;</url><Date>2021-01-14T17:45:08Z</Date><ShortDescription>Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced the following appointments to the Legislative Salary Council, Compensation Council, and Board of Dentistry. </ShortDescription><Subtitle/><publication>1055</publication><BodyText>&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;[ST.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;[ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced the appointment of Joseph Sullivan to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. He will serve a six-year term, effective on April 6, 2020 and expiring on January 5, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It is my honor to appoint Joseph Sullivan to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“Joe has spent his career in energy and utilities, building a deep understanding of this field and the regulatory atmosphere. I have utmost confidence in his ability to build consensus and follow the process to produce fair outcomes for Minnesota.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The PUC ensures that some of our most critical services – electricity, heat, phone lines – are delivered effectively and reliably,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“I want to thank Joe for bringing such a depth of experience to this important commission and for his commitment to public service and to the people of Minnesota.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It is an honor to be appointed by Governor Walz to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission,”&lt;/strong&gt; Sullivan said. &lt;strong&gt;“I thank the Governor and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan for the trust they have placed in me for this important role.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Sullivan most recently served as the Deputy Commissioner for the Division of Energy Resources at the Minnesota Department of Commerce. His previous employment includes serving as the Manager of Legislative Affairs and External Relations at the Center for Energy &amp;amp; the Environment, where he worked with policy makers, regulators, utilities, energy advocates, and other key stakeholders to advance energy efficiency and clean energy policy in Minnesota. Joseph has also worked as the Regional Policy Manager for Wind on the Wires where he worked in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa to advance policies for wind power and transmission access.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;He started his career by spending six and a half years representing a municipal power agency and Greater Minnesota cities as a senior attorney at Flaherty &amp;amp; Hood P.A. in St. Paul, Minn. At Flaherty &amp;amp; Hood, Sullivan worked on renewable energy, transmission issues, state conservation goals, greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, net metering, nuclear waste, and utility taxation issues. Prior to joining Flaherty &amp;amp; Hood, Joe worked in Washington, DC at the U.S. House Committee on Science and at the Internal Revenue Service. He graduated from Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He recently served as a board member of Bicycling Around Minnesota, the Mankato Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Land Trust, and the Mankato Planning Commission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan made an excellent appointment in selecting Joe Sullivan to serve on the Public Utilities Commission,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Commissioner Katie Sieben, Chair of the Commission. &lt;strong&gt;“Joe’s experience in the clean energy sector, his legal training and rural perspective will make him an effective regulator. I join my colleagues in congratulating him on his appointment and welcoming him to the Commission.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Joe Sullivan is widely respected by everyone who knows him. His breadth of experience as an advocate for rural communities, clean energy, and energy efficiency are invaluable assets for Governor Walz and for the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Michael Noble, Executive Director of Fresh Energy. &lt;strong&gt;“He will be a dogged advocate for affordability, reliability, universal access, and the environment.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Joe Sullivan will make an outstanding Public Utilities Commissioner. Joe is a well-respected energy policy expert and leader in his field, but what&apos;s most important to our members is the work he has done to ensure that working Minnesotans have a voice in the state&apos;s energy transition,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Joel Smith, President and Business Manager of LIUNA Minnesota &amp;amp; North Dakota. &lt;strong&gt;“We appreciate the work Joe has done to help bring about changes in the clean energy industry that created family-supporting jobs for hundreds of Minnesotans, including LIUNA members. We are confident that he will continue to be a champion for Minnesota workers on the Commission.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Appointment Process&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Joseph Sullivan will be occupying the Commissioner seat previously held by Commissioner Dan Lipschultz.

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today announced 23 appointments to the Young Women’s Cabinet. Comprised of 32 young women, the initiative is a first-of-its-kind partnership between the Office of the Governor and Lt. Governor and the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota to improve outcomes for young women in Minnesota. The initiative brings together nonprofits, businesses, government, philanthropies, and young women to achieve equity in opportunities and to improve the lives of young women of color, Indigenous young women, young women from Greater Minnesota, LGBTQ+ youth, and young women with disabilities. The Cabinet ensures that the efforts of the Young Women’s Initiative stay grounded in the lived experiences of the young women and youth from all backgrounds, the community-specific challenges and solutions they identified, and guided by their leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It’s my honor to elevate the leadership of these extraordinary young women from communities across Minnesota,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz.&lt;strong&gt;“Every young woman in Minnesota deserves a bright future, and the best way we can achieve that is by asking them directly what we can do to improve opportunity in their community. “&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I am encouraged by the overwhelming response we received to our call for young women to apply to the Young Women’s Cabinet,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“This initiative is a demonstration of our commitment to not only giving young women a seat at the table but centering them in our decisions to improve the lives of all Minnesotans. Thank you to the over 140 young women who applied and shared their powerful voices, ideas, and stories with us. We are so grateful.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“There is more to Minnesota when every young woman has what she needs to thrive — with economic opportunity, access to leadership, and safety at home, school, and work. Since 2016, the Young Women’s Cabinet has guided Minnesota’s leading research on the well-being of young women of color, invested more than one million dollars in grants to nonprofits and individuals, testified as experts and advocates at the Capitol for policies to create opportunities, safety, and leadership for women and girls, and worked with a Council of powerful leaders to advance equity across sectors,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Saanii Hernandez, vice president of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota. &lt;strong&gt;“Representation matters. When we center the voices and leadership of young women facing the greatest barriers, their families and communities do better. Through the Young Women’s Initiative, we are building a stronger Minnesota.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Over 140 young women applied to serve on the Young Women’s Cabinet. Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan made the following appointments:&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Today, Wednesday, November 13, 2019, Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan announced appointments to the Children’s Cabinet Advisory Council and the State Advisory Council on Early Childhood Education and Care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;These appointments are supported by &lt;a href=&quot;https://mn.gov/governor/assets/2019_08_07_19-34_tcm1055-397454.pdf&quot;&gt;Executive Order 19-34&lt;/a&gt; , re-launching the Governor’s Children’s Cabinet and placing children at the center of government, and state statute (section 124D.141). The Children’s Cabinet Advisory Council and the State Advisory Council on Early Childhood Education and Care will make recommendations to support community engagement and work of carrying out Executive Order 19-34 across state government and the Children’s Cabinet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Minnesota should be the best place in the country for each and every child to grow up,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“When we focus on improving equity and outcomes for our littlest Minnesotans, we lift up all of us. I am grateful for the service of these leaders – representing youth, teachers and schools, researchers, counties and tribes, and leaders of many walks of life.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Too often, race, zip code, and income determine the trajectory of our kids’ lives,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“This council – made up of parents, advocates, teachers, school districts, county and tribal administrators, leaders and voices from the private and public sector, communities of color, and Greater Minnesota – will help our charge to place children at the center of government and commit to prioritizing equitable outcomes so that all Minnesotans can reach their full potential.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Extensive outreach and conversation went in to the appointment process for these positions over the last three months, with nearly 200 people applying to serve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I am very encouraged by the Governor and Lt. Governor’s commitment to children and youth in Minnesota, and I am honored to be a part of the Children’s Cabinet so we can make transformative change in the lives of children,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Bharti Wahi, Executive Director of Children’s Defense Fund – Minnesota and appointee to the Children’s Cabinet Advisory Council. &lt;strong&gt;“No child’s opportunity to actualize their fullest potential should be determined by their geography, economic status or race. I am ready to dig in to the work.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I look forward to collaborating with and advising to the Children’s Cabinet on strategies to improve the lives of Minnesota youth – especially lifting up the perspective of tribes and prioritizing Native youth to ensure all children have an opportunity to succeed,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Leroy Staples Fairbanks, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Tribal Council District III Representative and appointee to the Children’s Cabinet Advisory Council.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“My entire work and personal life has centered around children. Starting my professional life as a student teacher in Head Start, later as a kindergarten and ECFE teacher, leading to teaching in an early childhood program at the college level provided me with a strong base of understanding as to what children need to support their healthy development and experience learning success,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lynn Haglin, Vice President and KIDS PLUS Director at the Northland Foundation and appointee to the Children’s Cabinet Advisory Council. &lt;strong&gt;“My hope is that I can bring voices from Greater Minnesota to the conversations that will take place within the Council to truly help make our state united around all of our children.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;For the first time, young leaders will be included on the advisory body informing the work of the Children’s Cabinet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I am excited to see the insights and opinions of others on what they can change or improve the lives of kids and young people like me,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Jazzy Eubanks, a high school student at Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts and appointee to the Children’s Cabinet Advisory Council.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It’s my honor to elevate the leadership of young women from across Minnesota,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“Every young woman in Minnesota deserves a bright future.

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Young women are leaders within and outside of their communities,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“The Young Women’s Initiative lifts up our future generation, especially those from underrepresented communities, by recognizing the power of their voices, stories, and ideas.

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“There is more to Minnesota when every young woman has what she needs to thrive — with economic opportunity, access to leadership, and safety at home, school, and work. Since its inception in 2016, the Young Women’s Cabinet has guided Minnesota’s leading research on the well-being of young women of color, invested more than one million dollars in grants to nonprofits and individuals, testified as experts and advocates at the Capitol for policies to create opportunities, safety, and leadership for women and girls, and worked with a Council of powerful leaders to advance equity across sectors,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lee Roper-Batker, president &amp;amp; CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota. &lt;strong&gt;“When we center the voices and leadership of young women facing the greatest barriers, their families and communities do better.

PAUL, MN – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz today announced the appointment of 11 Minnesotans to serve on the newly created Blue Ribbon Commission on Health and Human Services. Established by the 2019 Minnesota State Legislature, the group will help state leaders craft a vision for long-term systemic reforms and identify near-term strategies to improve health outcomes, increase access, reduce inequities and disparities, find administrative efficiencies, expand program integrity and steward taxpayer dollars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Governor Walz thanked the appointees for their willingness to serve and highlighted their shared commitment to ensuring that state health and human services programs are both effective and efficient in supporting the health and well-being of all Minnesotans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Minnesotans rely on our health and human services programs to live full and productive lives. That is why I am looking to this Blue Ribbon Commission to make recommendations on how to improve outcomes, control costs in the short run and plan for the needs of the future,”&lt;/strong&gt; Governor Walz said. &lt;strong&gt;“With this public private partnership we are relying on lived experience of program participants and expertise of industry members to boost the impact of our work and ensure that our resources are invested wisely.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The Blue Ribbon Commission, passed into law by the State Legislature and co-chaired by Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm and Department of Human Services Commissioner Jodi Harpstead, will produce a report by October 2020 that includes recommendations for specific health and human services cost savings. The Governor is charging the group to do so in the context of broad, forward-thinking recommendations that will provide program efficiencies and produce healthier and fuller lives for all Minnesotans at a sustainable cost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;According to MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm, the commission’s discussions will not be limited to state government services. &lt;strong&gt;“Sustainable improvements will not come through cost shifts that may fix one budget problem but create another,”&lt;/strong&gt; Commissioner Malcolm said. &lt;strong&gt;“This work needs to be informed by what we know about the real cost drivers of health, and the broader context of community conditions that can make it easier or harder for people to make better choices and for programs to deliver effective services.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“This commission represents a new opportunity to design and implement programs and services that make a real difference for Minnesota residents and communities, while also maximizing the return on every dollar invested,”&lt;/strong&gt; DHS Commissioner Jodi Harpstead said. &lt;strong&gt;“We want to find ways to promote better health and fuller lives at a price we can afford – in that order.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz today announced the appointment of Valerie Means to serve a six-year term on the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC). She will be replacing Chair Nancy Lange, whose term expired in January. Along with a vast background of experience, Means has a compelling personal story that inspired her to pursue a career in public service and is the first person of color to serve on the PUC in over thirty years. Governor Walz has selected current Commissioner Katie Sieben to serve as Chair of the Commission, for a term expiring on January 2, 2023. Commissioner Sieben’s appointment as Chair is effective immediately and Means’ term will begin on April 22, 2019. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;I am excited to appoint Valerie Means to the Public Utilities Commission,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Governor Walz. &lt;strong&gt;“Valerie comes to the PUC with incredible qualifications and a deep understanding of public utilities from many perspectives. One thing is clear: she knows the real people behind the policy discussions that happen every day on the Commission, and she knows how to navigate this lesser-known arm of government fairly and effectively. I also want to thank Commissioner Sieben for her thoughtful and fair leadership on the Commission, and for agreeing to succeed former Commissioner Lange as Chair.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The Governor and I were both impressed with the story that Valerie brings to the PUC,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. &lt;strong&gt;“Valerie is not only extraordinarily qualified for the position, but her leadership is inspiring. I consider it my job to hold the door open for women and people of color, and it is deeply meaningful to me to appoint her to this role. When boards and commissions better reflect the communities they represent, we get better results for all Minnesotans.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I thank Governor Walz for the confidence shown in me by the appointment as a Commissioner on the Public Utilities Commission. It is an honor and a privilege,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Valerie Means. &lt;strong&gt;“My experiences, both professional and personal, have helped me appreciate the diverse perspectives presented by advocates in PUC proceedings. I look forward to ensuring that safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible utility service is available to all Minnesotans.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I appreciate the trust the Governor and Lieutenant Governor have placed in me,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Commissioner Katie Sieben. &lt;strong&gt;“I look forward to working with my fellow Commissioners to make sound decisions that will result in reliable service, reasonable rates, and increased use of renewable energy.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Valerie Means is a magnificent appointment to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, combining unequaled utility regulatory experience with deep curiosity, thoughtfulness, and a personal history that will serve all Minnesotans exceptionally well,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Mike Bull, Director of Policy and External Affairs for the Center for Energy and Environment. &lt;strong&gt;“Elevating Commissioner Katie Sieben to Chair the Commission is also a wonderful choice. Today’s appointments ensure the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is uniquely well positioned to address the coming energy and climate challenges in the years ahead, and to make decisions that will benefit current and future Minnesotans.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Governor Walz picked two highly-accomplished women to help guide the state toward a clean energy future without sacrificing affordability, reliability, or the safe and high-quality employment opportunities that the energy sector has provided to generations of Minnesotans,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Tim Mackey, LIUNA Minnesota &amp;amp; North Dakota President and Business Manager . &lt;strong&gt;“Commissioner Sieben is a lifelong champion of One Minnesota values and working people with a proven ability to help the Commission navigate complex issues. Ms. Means is an experienced utility lawyer who understands deeply how crucial affordable rates and good jobs are to the well-being of our families and communities. Thanks to the Governor’s leadership, we know that Minnesota ratepayers and Minnesota’s energy workforce will be in good hands.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Valerie Means brings impeccable credentials to the PUC,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Paul Austin, Executive Director of Conservation Minnesota. &lt;strong&gt;“Her vast experience, personal history and commitment to serving all Minnesotans make her a compelling choice who will bring an important new perspective to the commission.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Valerie Means is a qualified mediator. Previously, she was an attorney and shareholder at Moss &amp;amp; Barnett, PA, where she represented public utilities and telecommunications service providers in regulatory proceedings before the PUC and state and federal courts. She was inspired to a life of public service by father, a Vietnam War veteran, and her mother, both of whom grew up in challenging circumstances and expected her to give back to her community.&lt;/p&gt;
