The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) re-elected Rodney Barreto Thursday to chair its seven-member board in 2008. Tallahassee attorney Brian Yablonski will serve as vice chairman.

Barreto, of Miami, was appointed to the Commission in August 2001 and was reappointed in February 2007. This will be his fourth term as chairman. He was elected chairman in 2004, and his fellow commissioners re-elected him in 2006 and 2007.

Yablonski began his term on the FWC in January 2004. His fellow commissioners elected him vice chairman in September 2007. Yablonski’s term as an FWC Commissioner runs through January 2009.

FWC Commissioners are appointed by the governor to five-year terms. They make decisions that guide conservation of Florida’s fish and wildlife resources.
