LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Lottery Commission plans to begin considering applications for the job of executive director of the state’s new state-run lottery next week.
The commission said Wednesday it will meet Monday to begin reviewing the applications, which numbered 33 by Wednesday afternoon.
No deadline has been set for picking a director, but commission chairman Ray Thornton has said he would like to have a director in place before the end of June.
The commission has said it will consider applications from job seekers and nominations from members of the panel.
“To the best of my knowledge, there have been no commissioner recommendations, which is a bit surprising to me, but I still think it was wise to have the two-pronged approach,” Thornton told reporters Wednesday.
