Relationships mattered for retired Minnesota DNR fish manager Jack Lauer

Looking back on his almost 40-year career with the Minnesota DNR, most recently the past 16 years as southern region fisheries manager, Jack Lauer says he viewed the job as more than that of simply a government employee.
“We have really good resources. So, my job wasn’t to be the bureaucrat, but was to be a person who helped preserve what we have in Minnesota,” Lauer said.
Lauer, who recently retired, said he didn’t see his role as the regional manager as one that operated in a vacuum apart from local agencies.
