The U.S. Small Business Administration has named Norm Proctor to direct the Boise District Office, which oversees SBA operations in southern and central Idaho, and much of eastern Oregon. He replaces Tom Bergdoll, who held the district director post since 1991 and retired Jan. 3 in the interim.
Proctor will start as Boise District Office director July 20, Morfitt said. The office, on Parkcenter Boulevard in Boise, employs eight.
According to the web site, Proctor was appointed regional administrator in SBA Region 10 in April 2004, overseeing SBA programs and services in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Proctor worked for 23 years for truck builder PACCAR Inc., Bellevue, Wash., and also served as the SBA Region 10 advocate.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in business, and a law degree, from the University of Washington.
