Ricketts to conduct national search for Dept. of Roads head

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Gov. Pete Ricketts says he will conduct a national search for a new director of the Nebraska Department of Roads.

The announcement on Friday follows three searches run by private firms for the leaders of the Departments of Correctional Services, Economic Development and Health and Human Services.

The Greater Omaha Chamber Foundation has hired a search firm. Ted Ford Webb of Ford Webb Associates, Inc. based in Concord, Massachusetts will assist with the search. Donors who contribute to the search process will be disclosed after the conclusion of the search.

Finalists interviewed by the firm will be forwarded to Gov. Ricketts and his chief-of-staff, Matt Miltenberger, for interviews.
