Governor Beebe announced today the appointment of two local people to state commissions. Hope Mayor, Dennis Ramsey, was appointed as a member to the newly created Arkansas Legislative Task Force on Criteria and Qualifications for Chiefs of Police. This task force was created by Act 287 of 2007 to detail and review the criteria and qualifications for Arkansas Chiefs of Police. They will report their findings to the 2009 legislature and the task force will be disbanded at that time.
Karen Massey, a Special Education Coordinator for the Southwest Educational Coop, was named as a member of the high profile Children's Behavioral Health Care Commission. This 20 member commission was created by Act 1593 of 2007 and will focus on improving the system of children's mental health care and treatment to hundreds of Arkansas families. This was the commission that Mrs. Beebe toured the state touting back in the spring and summer.
Congratulations to Dennis and Karen. I know both will do an outstanding job in their public service to our state. Also, thanks to our Governor for keeping Southwest Arkansas involved.
