Courtney Liddiard introduced at confirmation hearing for Idaho Parks and Recreation board; vote deferred
Summary
Courtney Liddiard appeared for a confirmation hearing as a gubernatorial nominee to the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation board; committee did not vote and said the appointment will be voted at the next meeting.
Courtney Liddiard appeared before the Senate Resources & Environment Committee for a confirmation hearing as a gubernatorial nominee to a board overseen by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. Liddiard introduced his background, citing 30 years living in Rexburg and recent service as CEO of Ball Ventures.
Committee members asked about his priorities for the board, his time commitment and how his private‑sector experience would inform oversight of department assets. Liddiard said his focus would be on maximizing return on state assets, efficient operations, and people management. He described the board’s formal meeting schedule as quarterly but said much of the work takes place between meetings through communications with the director and fellow members.
Senators asked additional questions about his time commitment and the nature of in‑between meetings; Liddiard said he expected the real commitment would be greater than the formal quarterly meetings. The committee did not vote on the nomination; the chair said the committee will take the vote at its next meeting and then the nomination would go to the Senate floor.
