On March 19, 2009, Partnership Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Kevin Simpson testified before the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. In his testimony, Simpson provided recommendations on how the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service can improve recruitment, retention and overall employee satisfaction. In particular, Simpson recommended that the agencies focus on improving leadership, an area where all three agencies receive low scores in the Best Places to Work rankings.
