Lowry Promoted as Area Supervisor Of State Boating Programs
AKRON, OH – Richard T. Lowry, of Akron, has been promoted to area supervisor of state boating programs for a portion of northeast Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft. He will continue working out of the Akron area office located at 2756 S. Arlington Road.
In his new position as Akron area supervisor, Lowry is responsible for coordinating law enforcement, boating education programs and public relations efforts in Columbiana, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Trumbull and Wayne counties. Lowry also will supervise Division of Watercraft field operations on waterways including Berlin Reservoir, Mogadore Reservoir, Mosquito Creek Lake, Portage Lakes and West Branch Reservoir.
Lowry is the son of Raymond and Betty Ouellette of Huber Heights. He first joined the Division of Watercraft as an officer cadet in 2000. After completing the Ohio Peace Officers Training Academy in Columbus, Lowry was assigned to the division’s Akron area office.
