Government Jobs in Missouri

Gov.-elect Jay Nixon and Mrs. Georganne Nixon & CTA Group

These Citizen Transition Advisers, who hail from all walks of life and every region of Missouri, will help recruit potential members of Gov.-elect Nixon's administration in their home communities. Gov.-elect Nixon's goal in appointing the Advisers was to bring new energy to state government by developing the most qualified, most diverse applicant pool possible.

"A new spirit of public service is sweeping across Missouri and the nation," Gov.-elect Nixon said. "Like never before, professionals from business, academia and non-profits are considering opportunities to serve in government. I am committed to reaching out to every corner of Missouri to build the most talented, inclusive and energized administration possible. By appointing these Citizen Transition Advisers, we hope to discover great new public servants right in our own neighborhoods. Together, we will find the best team to overcome the challenges Missouri faces and move our state forward."
