DENVER - Governor Bill Owens announced the appointment of Doug Cole to the Board of Parks and Outdoor Recreation for a term expiring June 30, 2002.
"Doug's experience with industry will be a great asset to his role on the board," said Gov. Owens. "He will provide a business-minded approach to future parks and recreation opportunities."
Doug Cole of Superior will serve as an at-large member. He currently is president and chief executive officer for the Longmont Chamber of Commerce and is chair-elect of the Colorado Chamber of Commerce Executives.
