Mixon, former superintendent and executive director for transportation services for Columbus Public Schools will serve on the council through January 31, 2005.
We are fortunate to have Dr. Mixon on the Ohio Wildlife Council, said Steven A. Gray, chief of the ODNR Division of Wildlife. He is a lifelong sportsman who is very committed to advancing wildlife conservation in Ohio.
