SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – In keeping with the Administration’s goals of better serving state and local communities, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah State Director Edwin Roberson today announced the selection of Ahmed Mohsen as the new Color Country District Manager.
Mohsen, who previously served as the field manager for the Price Field Office, will report to his new position on July 9. He has over 25 years of federal service, working with the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service.
“I am proud to announce Ahmed Mohsen will serve as the new Color Country District Manager,” Roberson said. “Ahmed has a strong track record of working with local and state agencies, industry, and citizens in the management of our public lands and natural resources. I have great confidence in the experience and professionalism Ahmed brings into this vital role.”
Mohsen began his federal career in 1986 where he served in the BLM-Nevada’s Battle Mountain and Tonopah field offices. He earned degrees in geology and geophysics from the University of Nevada, Reno. Mohsen succeeds Tooter Burdick, who served as the interim Acting District Manager.
