Kempthorne appoints former banker
BOISE -- Gov. Dirk Kempthorne has appointed Jay L. Nielsen of Twin Falls to the Idaho Board of Correction.
Nielsen, a private financial consultant and former banker, served on the Idaho Commission on Pardons and Parole between 1992 and 1998 and was chairman of that panel in 1994.
"Jay's past experience with these issues will bring a fresh, yet seasoned, perspective to the increasingly complex issues facing our criminal justice system," Kempthorne said. "His expertise will be greatly valued as the board works to find the best solutions to these challenging issues."
Nielsen succeeds Dwight Board, whose resignation from the Board of Correction was effective March 12.
Nielsen is a former president and chief executive officer of Burley-based D.L. Evans Bank and a former chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Treasure Valley Bank in Fruitland. He has served as a vice president of the American Bankers Association and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, chairman of the Cassia Memorial Hospital Board of Directors and treasurer for the city of Albion.
