Williams Grad Named DOR Commissioner - January 04, 2008
BOSTON - A Williams College graduate has been appointed commissioner of the state Department of Revenue.
Navjeet K. Bal, who's been deputy commissioner since September, will replace Henry Dormitzer, who is leaving after seven months in the office to take a job in the private sector.
"While I am sorry to see Henry leave, and [I] thank him for his hard work, I am delighted to appoint Navjeet Bal as DOR commissioner. She is a talented administrator and a terrific leader, and I am pleased to promote her," said Secretary for Administration and Finance Leslie Kirwan in announcing the appointment on Friday.
Bal, a native of India, received her law degree from Northeastern University in 1989. She worked for the law firm of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo PC (known as Mintz Levin} from September 1989 until April 2007. She has extensive experience in public finance, state disclosure issues, state and federal tax law and structured financial transactions.
Bal is a co-founder of Mintz Levin's Domestic Violence Project, established in 1990 as one the firm's pro bono programs. She is a board member and former chairman of the Legal Advocacy and Resource Center in Boston, and served from 2003-2005 on the executive committee for the statewide planning committee on delivery of legal services, led by retired Chief Justice Herbert Wilkins.
"I am honored by the appointment and thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the many talented people at DOR," Bal said.
Dormitzer, who will become chief financial officer of Free Flow Power Corp., has spent most of his career in the private sector. He was appointed undersecretary and chief of staff for administration and finance in January and commissioner in July.
"The opportunity to join an exciting new business venture poised to make a real impact in developing clean, renewable energy resources is an exciting opportunity that I cannot pass up," said Dormitzer in a press statement. "I know the department will be in good hands under Navjeet's leadership."
Bal will take over as commissioner when Dormitzer leaves at the end of the month. |
