GAME COMMISSION WELCOMES MARTONE TO BOARD
Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today welcomed the Board of Game Commissioners newest member, Ralph A. Martone, of New Castle, Lawrence County, which brings the Board to its full complement of eight members.
Martone was nominated by Gov. Edward G. Rendell on June 3, and confirmed by the state Senate on July 15. Martone fills the unexpired term of H. Daniel Hill III, who resigned earlier this year when he was appointed Senior Policy Advisor and Counselor to U.S. Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper. Martone's term expires Oct. 14, 2014.
"As a member of the Board of Game Commissioners, I look forward to helping guide the agency in managing the state's wildlife resources and meeting the needs of its citizens, including hunters and non-hunters," Martone said. "In a new era of wildlife management, the Game Commission must strive to balance the diverse needs of society with scientific management concepts. In addition, the leadership of the agency is charged with maintaining a sound fiscal plan while dealing with such diverse issues as hunter recruitment and deer management."
