[5] Brian Lipscomb Named New CBFWA Director

Brian Lipscomb, a long-time natural resource manager for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, will be the next executive director of the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority.

Outgoing director Rod Sando said Lipscomb, a tribal member, will bring a unique combination of education and experience to his new position, having been responsible for the Salish and Kootenai participation in the federal hydropower arena. He said Lipscomb also played a key role in negotiating and implementing mitigation programs associated with the operation of Kerr Dam and the contamination of the Upper Clark Fork River Basin.

Lipscomb will leave his present position as member of the tribal lands department and take over the director's spot July 1. CBFWA is made up of fish and wildlife managers from four Northwest states, NMFS, USFWS, and 13 tribes in the Columbia River Basin. -B. R.
