Renée Bahl began as Executive Director of Arizona State Parks in June 2009. During her tenure with State Parks, the agency has faced severe budget cuts. This led to both park and program reductions as well as new partnerships and innovative management approaches to operate the system.
Most recently, Bahl served as Director of San Diego County Parks and Recreation for seven years. Prior to her time in San Diego, Bahl served as Assistant Director of Arizona State Parks from March 1996-May 2002. Before that, she was a fiscal analyst with the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) for the Arizona State Legislature.
Bahl received her Master of Public Administration in Policy Analysis/Environmental Policy and Natural Resource Management from Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs and received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Emory University in Atlanta.
