BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota has two new directors of critical state agencies.
North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong has announced the appointments of Reice Haase as director of the state Department of Water Resources and Zach Greenberg who will serve as interim labor commissioner.
Haase served as deputy executive director of the North Dakota Industrial Commission. Greenberg, an experienced law clerk, has spent the past two years working in the governor’s office as a legal and policy adviser. Both men were appointed by former Governor Doug Burgum.
“Reice will serve our citizens well with his strong background in natural resources and deep understanding of the critical importance of clean, reliable, affordable water to North Dakota residents, farmers and ranchers, manufacturers and energy producers. We appreciate his continued service to the state of North Dakota,” Armstrong said.
“I’m deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve the citizens of our great state in this new position,” Haase said. “The work of DWR touches the lives of every North Dakotan, and thanks to our strong oil and gas industry, we have the opportunity to invest in transformational water projects which will leave a lasting legacy for future generations. I’m excited to join the dedicated team at DWR and work with the State Water Commission led by Gov. Armstrong as chairman.”
