Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has appointed M. Scott Bowen as Director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Bowen has a long history of public service to Michigan. He served as the commissioner of the Michigan Lottery from January 2008 to February 2017 making him the longest serving lottery director in state history.
Prior to his appointment as lottery commissioner, he served as the director of Office of the State Employer. Earlier he served two terms on the Grand Rapids City Commission.
Before his governmental service, Bowen served as judge of the 62-A District Court in the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming after being appointed by Gov. Jennifer Granholm in 2003.
His appointment came while he was a partner at McInerney & Bowen, having previously founded the firm of Bowen, Distel & Haynes P.L.C.
Bowen has also served as city attorney for multiple West Michigan cities and worked as special assistant attorney general for the Michigan Department of Transportation, where he specialized in condemnation work.
Most recently, Bowen served as senior vice president of business development for NeoPollard Interactive, LLC, a Michigan-based technology company.
Shannon Lott has been serving as the acting director of DNR following the resignation of Dan Eichinger earlier this year.
