WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2022 – Today, President Joe Biden announced his intent to appoint Glenn Pauley as the Rural Development (RD) State Director in Wyoming. This announcement includes the appointment of additional Farm Service Agency (FSA) positions around the country.

“As we work to build a better America and advance our mission, USDA needs qualified and talented people in our regional offices,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “These five individuals have the experience and talent to serve on the front lines of FSA and RD offices in their respective states. We are thrilled to have them at USDA.”

RD State Directors serve as the chief executive officer of Rural Development in the states and territories and are tasked with carrying out the mission of Rural Development to the benefit of everyone in rural America. In conjunction with the guidance and support of the National Office, State Directors are responsible for promoting the mission and strategic goals of Rural Development and provide key leadership to develop and support a productive, diverse, and inclusive state workforce.

Glenn Pauley most recently worked at the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, where his work included collaboration with federal, state, and local partners to develop and implement Wyoming’s State Wildlife Action Plan. He previously served as an executive director for two ranchland conservation organizations: the Southern Alberta Land Trust Society and the Wyoming Stock Growers Agricultural Land Trust. Pauley also served as the founding Board Chairman for the Partnership of Rangeland Trusts (PORT), an organization established to leverage national resources for ranchland conservation. He has a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology and Management from the University of Wyoming and master’s degree in Environmental Science from the University of Calgary.

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities, create jobs and improve the quality of life for millions of Americans in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural, Tribal and high-poverty areas.
