Augusta, Maine - Governor Paul LePage announced Monday the nominations of 91 appointments to boards, commissions and other positions throughout our State. The Governor appoints over two thousand Maine citizens to serve on over three hundred boards and commissions.

"Finding individuals of the highest quality who represent the best interests of the people of Maine was a priority," said the Governor. "Overseeing these boards and commissions is a responsibility I take very seriously and I am grateful we have found so many willing to serve on behalf of the citizens of our great State."

The 91 nominations are confirmable appointments. Confirmable appointments require a public hearing to be held before a joint standing committee of the State Legislature for the purposes of confirming the Governor's nomination. These appointments also require final Confirmation by the Maine State Senate. View a complete list of these appointments and boards at
