Branstad accepts resignation of Roger Lande

Calls Lande a "great Iowan" who "answers the call to service whenever asked"

 

(DES MOINES) - Gov. Terry E. Branstad has accepted the resignation of Roger
Lande as the director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The
resignation is effective, today.

 

The governor thanked Lande for his service to the state of Iowa, and for
leading the Department of Natural Resources through two legislative sessions
these past 16 months.

 

"Roger Lande is a great Iowan and has always responded to the call to
service whenever asked," said Branstad. "Whether it be leading this
important department during this current term, or helping me bring IPSCO
Steel and hundreds of great jobs to Iowa back in the 1990s, Roger has always
accepted the challenge.

 

"I wish Roger well in his next endeavors and look forward to continuing to
work with him and his wife, Sarah, in our efforts to further and strengthen
our relationship with our Chinese friends and trading partners," concluded
Branstad.

 

Branstad says he will name Lande's successor on a future date.
