New IDNR Director Appointed
Last week it was announced that former State Representative Natalie Finnie will serve as Director of the Department of Natural Resources.
Finnie has served as Deputy Director of DNR since August of 2021, where she oversaw the Office of Land Management, Legislative Department, Office of Oil & Gas Management, and Office of Mines and Minerals. Prior to this, she was the State Representative of the 118th District from 2017 to 2019.
IFCA had a great working relationship with Director Finnie when she was a State Rep from southeast Illinois. She sat on the ag committee and always had an open dialog to the industry. We look forward to working with her more as the new Director of IDNR.
