Four local residents named to state boards

Posted

Gov. Mark Gordon has appointed or reappointed three Park County residents and one Big Horn County resident to a quartet of state boards and commissions.

The four area residents were among roughly 75 people that Gordon recently nominated for a variety of state boards and commissions.

“I want to thank each and every individual who submitted an application to serve the State of Wyoming,” Gordon said in a Tuesday statement announcing his nominees. “I am grateful that so many of our citizens have a willingness to share their experience and expertise in service to our state.”

Park County Commissioner and outfitter Lee Livingston was reappointed to the Wyoming State Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides. The board licenses, regulates, reviews and evaluates big and trophy game outfitters and guides and enforces applicable laws, rules and regulations related to the outfitting industry. Livingston owns a business called Livingston Outfitting that’s based out of his home in the Heart Mountain area.

Quintin Blair of Cody was named to the Wyoming Tourism Board, which helps guide the state’s efforts to promote itself as a travel destination.

Blair is the vice president of sales and marketing at Blair Hotels, which owns five hotels in Wyoming, including the Buffalo Bill Resort in Cody. The downtown Cody complex includes the Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn and Buffalo Bill Village cabins.

Additionally, David Cunningham, the director of the Meeteetse Museums, was reappointed to the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund Board. The board’s general mission is to support “Wyoming’s culture and heritage through grant funding of innovative projects for the enjoyment, appreciation, promotion, preservation, and protection of the state’s arts, cultural and historic resources.”

Gov. Gordon also tabbed Brian Dickson of Lovell — a former town council member who once served as the president of the Wyoming Association of Municipalities — to serve on the School Facilities Commission. The commission helps oversee the construction of school facilities across the state.

The Wyoming Senate is expected to formally approve the nominees soon.
