COLUMBUS, OH – Columbus resident Pamela Dillon has announced her retirement effective April 30 as chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft.
A native of Portsmouth and former Ostrander resident, Dillon first joined ODNR in 1976 as a park naturalist aide. She attained her peace officer training certificate and was appointed to serve as a state watercraft officer in 1977. She then went on to serve as manager of the Division of Watercraft’s Public Information and Education section. From 1996-2002, she served as one of two deputy chiefs in the division before departing ODNR in November, 2002 to serve as executive director of the Virgina-based American Canoe Association.
In October, 2007, Dillon returned and was appointed to serve as Division of Watercraft chief where she has since served as Ohio’s boating law administrator in charge of the state’s waterways law enforcement activities and boating programs.
“It is with sincere gratitude that all of us in ODNR share in thanking Chief Dillon for a truly remarkable career in boating education and service to Ohio boaters,” said David Mustine, ODNR director.
The ODNR Division of Watercraft administers Ohio’s boating programs. The agency oversees watercraft registration and titling operations, provides funding to local communities for education, enforcement and boating access facilities, educates the public, and enforces boating laws on Ohio’s waterways.
