September 28, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has announced that Ron Stiver, who has been serving as the state's commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development, will become the new commissioner of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Stiver, a 1996 graduate of DePauw University, replaces Joel Silverman, who is resigning the post effective October 16.

"Stiver has overseen the $975 million Workforce Development agency since January 2005," states an announcement from the governor's office. "During his tenure, Stiver has restored fiscal stability to the unemployment insurance system, replacing a $2.5 million annual deficit with a $3.3 million surplus; completed an overhaul of the workforce development system to a regionally-driven system that better serve employers and employees; launched the Major Moves minority training program to better prepare minorities for jobs in the skilled trades, and restored fiscal stability to an unemployment insurance system that was on the verge of bankruptcy."
