Isherwood, who is currently Sector Lead for Film and Digital Media at the ӣ����Ƶ Economic Development Authority (EDA) and previously was Senior Advisor for Economic Development Communications in the Office of the Governor, will join the department on Monday, January 23.

“I am thrilled that someone with Darryl’s experience will be leading our dynamic communications office as we enter the FY 2024 budget season,” said Treasurer Muoio. “We worked closely with Darryl when he was in the Governor’s Office, and his knowledge of the budget process, together with his relationships with the state press corps and his ability to communicate complex issues, will be a huge asset moving forward.”
