Commissioner Fish announced this week that former Bureau of Transportation Director Sue Keil will serve as Interim Director of Portland Parks & Recreation until a new Director is selected.

"As it became clear that we would have a few months' gap between Zari's retirement and the starting date for the new director, I considered several factors in selecting an interim director. Recently retired PBOT Director Sue Keil came to mind as someone who could provide the kind of solid leadership I believe the bureau needs for these few months," Nick told Parks staff earlier this week.

We're honored to welcome Sue to our team.
