HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii Gov. David Ige has named a 28-year veteran of the Nature Conservancy to serve as chairman of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Ige announced Tuesday that he chose Suzanne Case to fill the role.
The nomination comes after Ige failed to convince senators to confirm his previous pick. Environmentalists decried Ige’s choice of developer Carleton Ching to lead the department charged with protecting the environment.
Ige says Case shares his commitment to wise stewardship of Hawaii’s resources and making the most of limited resources.
Case has led the Nature Conservancy since 2001. She attended Punahou School and was its first female student body president.
Ige also has nominated Lance Mizumoto, Hubert Minn and Maggie Cox to serve on the Board of Education.
