Carcieri names acting director of human services

PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri announced today that he has appointed Gary Alexander as the acting director of the state Department of Human Services.

Alexander has served as the assistant to the director since 1998. He will oversee the department after today, when Director Ronald Lebel is scheduled to retire, until a permanent director is named.

Before joining DHS in 1998, Alexander served for two years as former Lt. Gov. Bernard Jackvony’s policy director. Previously, Alexander worked as a health care budget and policy analyst for the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Ways and Means.

Alexander earned his law degree from Suffolk University in 2002. He also holds a master of divinity degree from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Mass. He graduated magna cum laude from Northeastern University in Boston with a bachelor of arts in political science.
