Governor appoints Daniels '96 to lead CT Contracting Standards Board

Published:

Governor Ned Lamont announced on Dec. 30 the appointment of Greg Daniels ’96 as executive director of the State Contracting Standards Board.

The State Contracting Standards Board is responsible for oversight related to all matters associated with state procurement. It consists of 14 voting members who are appointed by the governor and the leaders of the General Assembly. The executive director, who is appointed by the governor, serves on the board as an ex-officio, nonvoting member. State statutes require the executive director to prepare a comprehensive plan of the board’s administrative functions, coordinate the board’s budget and personnel activities, provide for the board’s administrative organization to be examined for economy and efficiency, act as the board’s external liaison, and perform any other duties as the chair or board assigns.

Daniels will begin serving as executive director of the State Contracting Standards Board on Jan. 13. His nomination to the position will be forwarded to the General Assembly for its consideration.

"I am deeply honored and appreciative of Governor Lamont for the opportunity to serve as the next executive director of the State Contracting Standards Board," Daniels said. "I look forward to working with all stakeholders to implement efficient and effective practices that will result in value-driven procurement outcomes that benefit Connecticut’s citizens."

Daniels holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Central Connecticut State University and a Juris Doctor from Western New England College School of Law.
