BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) – Governor Brad Little announced changes to key senior level staff positions in his office Friday.

Lori Wolff will serve as Director of Operations and Hayden Rogers will serve as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs in the Office of the Governor starting in September. The news comes as the Governor’s current Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, Bobbi-Jo Meuleman, was selected to lead the Boise Metro Chamber as President and CEO.

“I am grateful Lori Wolff and Hayden Rogers are choosing to continue to serve the people of Idaho by stepping into new roles in my office. Both bring a great deal of experience, talent, and love for Idaho to the table,” Governor Little said. “In addition, I sincerely thank Bobbi-Jo Meuleman for serving the people of Idaho so capably in my office over the past few years. I am deeply grateful for her hard work in my office as we shepherded the state through the pandemic and became the state with the strongest economy in the nation while making unprecedented investments in schools and infrastructure and deploying record tax relief for Idahoans. She is a loyal friend, and I am pleased she is taking on this important new role. Boise businesses are poised for even more success with Bobbi-Jo at the helm of the Boise Metro Chamber.”
