Vermont Business Magazine The Agency of Natural Resources sent a statement to VermontBiz saying that Secretary Julie Moore has asked Andrea Shortsleeve to serve as Interim Fish & Wildlife Commissioner starting December 1. Outgoing Commissioner Christopher Herrick is stepping down from the Fish & Wildlife Department to accept the position of Director of Safety and Emergency Management at the Agency of Transportation.
