Gov. Mike Dunleavy has named Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Jason Brune to a seat on the board of trustees for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corp.
Brune will replace Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Corri Feige in a seat reserved for a member of the governor’s cabinet. Feige announced earlier this month that she will retire June 30 in order to spend more time with family in the Lower 48.
Feige has been replaced as commissioner on an interim basis by Akis Gialopsos, Dunleavy’s deputy chief of staff and legislative director. Before joining the Dunleavy administration, he was an aide to Sen. Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage.
Both moves were announced Friday by the governor’s office.
Correction: The original version of this article incorrectly stated that Feige will move to the Lower 48. She will spend more time with family in the Lower 48 but does not intend to move out of the state.
