BOULDER CITY, NEV. — Terry Fulp, Regional Director for the Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Colorado Region, announced today that Jennifer McCloskey was selected as the Region’s Assistant Regional Director. McCloskey, formerly the Area Manager for Reclamation’s Yuma Area Office, began her new position in the Lower Colorado Regional Office in Boulder City on July 22, 2013.
“I’m pleased that Jennifer is joining our Regional Office here in Boulder City,” said Director Fulp. “As the Yuma Area Manager, Jennifer has a proven track record as a key member of our Regional Management Team, and we have plenty of work awaiting her expertise.”
