Clark has been vice chairman of 19-man agency board
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission unanimously elected a new chairman and vice-chairman during its business meeting last week to preside over the governing board of the state regulatory agency.
John Litton Clark, of Clinton, the commissioner from District 4 and former vice chairman, will serve as chairman. John T. Coley IV, of Holly Springs and an at-large governor’s appointee, will serve as vice chairman.
Clark replaces James W. Cogdell of Norwood, who is the District 6 commissioner.
The 19-member Commission establishes policies and regulations governing boating, hunting, trapping and inland fishing, and wildlife-conservation activities in North Carolina. Appointments to the Commission are made by the governor, the speaker of the N.C. House and the President Pro Tempore of the N.C. Senate, with commissioners serving until reappointed or replaced.
As required by general statute, at the first scheduled meeting after July 1 of each odd-numbered year, wildlife commissioners must select a chairman and a vice-chairman, who then serve for terms of two years or until their successors are elected and qualified.
