Tennessee’s Department of Environment and Conservation

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has announced the appointment of Dr. Ronné Adkins as the new deputy commissioner for the Bureau of Environment. This promotion comes as Dr. Adkins transitions from his previous position as the director of TDEC’s Division of Stakeholder Engagement.

He takes over the role from Deputy Commissioner Greg Young, who has decided to step down to explore new opportunities after nearly five years of service in that capacity, having held the position since February 2019. The department extends its congratulations to Dr. Adkins as he embarks on this new chapter in his career with TDEC.
