CDFA Secretary Karen Ross celebrated Jay Van Rein’s 30 years of state service during a recent ceremony for his retirement as acting director of the CDFA Office of Public Affairs. He worked 25 years for CDFA.
“Jay’s thoughtful and artistic hand has created artwork adorning our halls, too many publications to name and sound guidance to CDFA leadership for decades,” Ross said. “He’s dependable, creative, always ready to help, looks at issues from all angles and is never afraid to raise counter points. I’ve known him a long time, have great respect for him, and I’m thankful for so many years of working with Jay.”
Joshua Bingham, who has been a member of the CFDA team for seven years, is providing public affairs leadership in this interim time.
