Gov. Kay Ivey announced a new round of appointments on Friday, including four appointments to a new team tasked with designing Alabama’s new principal development program.

The four appointees are just four members of a team that will be composed of at least 21 members from various backgrounds, appointed by various other governing bodies. The program was created by legislation introduced by Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, that gained approval in the 2023 Legislative Session.

Ivey’s appointments to the team are Alonzo Barkley, Shannon Pignato, Suzanne Lacey and Nick Moore.

Ivey also announced the following appointments:

Rabbi Edward Boraz to the Holocaust Commission
Rep. Phillip Ensler, D-Montgomery, to the Holocaust Foundation
Megan Yates as Clay County district judge in the 40th judicial circuit
Greg Gregerson, Johnathan Tang, Bill Davis and Zack Wilson to the Restriction of Youth Access to Tobacco Board
Fred DeLeon to the Licensure Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors
