The Agency’s senior leadership consists of the Director; who is appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, and the Deputy Director. These two key positions make up the agency’s Executive Team.

The agency’s leaders share a common management philosophy, which is deeply rooted in the principals of “Total Quality Management” as defined by the late Dr. W. Edwards Deming. All members of the Executive Team demonstrate their support for these principals through participation in briefings, training activities, and other quality initiatives. The agency’s senior leaders and managers use a participatory leadership style whenever practical and lead by example.
