DENVER — Monday, June 6, 2016 — Gov. John Hickenlooper today announced the appointment of Bob Randall as the executive director of the Colorado Department of
Natural Resources. Randall has served as the interim director of the department since February 2016.

“I am honored and humbled by this opportunity, and am privileged to work alongside a remarkable staff of professionals throughout the entire Department, the people who
are at the heart of our agency’s success,” Randall said. “I’m excited to carry on with the important work we do to manage and protect Colorado’s natural resources for people today and those who will depend upon the legacy we leave.”
Prior to joining the state, Randall served as a staff attorney for Western Resource Advocates and for Trustees for Alaska.
