U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Announces New Assistant Directors

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Steve Williams today announced Dr. Mamie Parker as Assistant Director for Fisheries and Habitat Conservation, replacing Cathleen Short, who is retiring. He also announced a new Assistant Director position for Federal Aid grant programs.

"It is hard to sufficiently express my praise and appreciation for Cathy Short in her tenure as Assistant Director for Fisheries and Habitat Conservation," said Service director Steve Williams. "Her leadership in working with partners to develop the Fisheries Vision, and also for the highly successful Fisheries Conference this month helped this program make much needed progress."
