GOV. RITTER CONGRATULATES FEMA REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR ROBIN FINEGAN

Gov. Bill Ritter today praised President Obama’s appointment of Robin Finegan as FEMA Regional Administrator for Region VIII, which encompasses Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

“FEMA’s Rocky Mountain Region is fortunate to have a leader such as Robin who brings a strong background in crisis management and consulting,” said Gov. Ritter. “Robin has worked with communities, businesses and with survivors of Hurricane Katrina and she will be a valuable asset to this community during any time of need.”

Finegan has more than 20 years of experience in crisis management and community preparedness, much of it in Colorado. Her work in disaster mental health, public information, and survivor services has earned her numerous awards and recognitions.
