Otter picks Ronk for Commerce

A familiar face will take over as the new director of the Idaho Department of Commerce. On Thursday, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter appointed Megan Ronk, who has worked at the department for four years under outgoing Director Jeff Sayer. Sayer is leaving to start a business consultancy after four years as director. Ronk, 36, takes over Friday. Ronk joined the department as public information officer in 2011 and was later promoted to chief operating officer. Previously, Ronk was executive director of the Idaho Meth Project, a nonprofit founded and chaired by Otter’s wife, Lori. Otter said Ronk was a key player in economic developments in recent years/ Zach Kyle , Statesman. More here.
