Michael Boren of Boise has been appointed to the Idaho Parks and Recreation Board. The Clearwater Analytics chairman will represent southwestern Idaho’s District 3 on the six-member panel that oversees the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. He fills the board vacancy left by Susan Buxton, who stepped down in January when Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter appointed her administrator of the state division of human resources.

The governor also called for applicants to fill a new vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Board representing northern Idaho’s District 1. Board member Thomas Crimmins’ term expired July 1. Applicants must live in District 1, which includes Boundary, Bonner, Kootenai, Benewah and Shoshone counties. Anyone interested may contact Ann Beebe in the governor’s office at 208-334-2100 or by email at [email protected].

The board provides citizen oversight for IDPR and appoints and supervises the agency’s director. Board members are appointed to six-year terms. No more than three members can be from a single political party, and each member represents one of six districts of the state.
