New Director For OYA
July 7th, 2009
A year after the director of the Oregon Youth Authority resigned under fire, Gov. Ted Kulongski on Monday announced the appointment of a new chief for the state’s juvenile corrections agency. Story from Oregon Live.
Colette Peters, former inspector general of the Oregon Department of Corrections between 2005 and 2008, will take the helm of the agency this summer pending state senate confirmation in the fall. Peters succeeds interim director Bobby Mink, who is returning to retirement. Mink repaced Robert Jester, the former director of the agency, who stepped down last summer after an internal report raised concerns about managerial oversight at the RiverBend youth facility.
