Gov. Sarah Sanders announced Friday (Aug. 11) that Shea Lewis will serve as Secretary of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism and Director of State Parks. Lewis has been serving as interim secretary since June when Mike Mills resigned.
“Shea’s record of strong leadership promoting Arkansas state parks and outdoor recreation uniquely qualifies him to be Secretary of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. I look forward to continuing to work with him to grow Arkansas tourism, elevate our 52 beautiful state parks, and make the Natural State the best place not only to visit, but live, work and raise a family,” Sanders said.
“It is an honor to lead this department and the amazing group of professionals that are entrusted with some of our great state’s historical, cultural and natural resources. Combining the efforts of Parks, Heritage and Tourism with the support and vision of Governor Sanders, the possibilities are endless,” said Lewis.
