Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Jon Steverson is appointing Paula Cobb as Deputy Secretary for Regulatory Programs.
Cobb, most recently Director of the Division of Air Resource Management, will supervise the regulatory districts of the Divisions of Air, Water and Waste. Her appointment is effective Jan. 5.
“Paula’s strong command of business and regulatory frameworks and her commitment to excellence make her an ideal candidate for this position,” Steverson said in a statement. “Her knowledge and experience will be a valuable asset throughout all of our regulatory programs.”
Cobb previously served as the division’s Deputy Director and, before that, was Program Administrator for its Office of Business and Regulatory Planning.
As air pollution in Florida continues to decline, Cobb will help oversee one of the most comprehensive air quality monitoring networks in the nation.
Cobb specialized in environmental law and policy at the University of South Carolina, University of South Carolina School of Law and Vermont Law School. Prior to joining the DEP, she practiced environmental and administrative law.
