CONCORD - Gov. John Lynch announced today he will bring forward the nomination of Glenn Normandeau of Portsmouth to serve as executive director of the Fish and Game Department at tomorrow’s Governor and Council meeting. The Executive Council must approve the nomination, which was made by the Fish and Game Commission.

“As lifelong New Hampshire resident and sportsman, Glenn Normandeau understands the importance of the mission of Fish and Game, and he is committed to supporting New Hampshire’s sportsmen and fisherman and conserving our state’s wildlife habitats,” Gov. Lynch said. “As a business owner and Fish and Game commissioner, Glen Normandeau also understands the business and financial challenges that the department faces.”

The Fish and Game Commission nominated Normandeau after an extensive search and interview process.

Normandeau has served as a Fish and Game commissioner for the last five years. He is president and owner of Pickering Marine Corp., a heavy construction company specializing in marine contracting, including piers and shore stabilization. Prior to starting Pickering Marine in 1990, Normandeau was an environmental consultant, performing various field projects, which included tagging fish and water flow modeling.
