Dennis Deziel is stepping down as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Program Planning and Budget in the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management, effective at the end of this month, an EM spokeswoman said yesterday. Deziel is reportedly leaving DOE to take a position with Dow Chemical. “Dennis Deziel has announced he will be leaving the Department of Energy effective at the end of the month. Dennis has been a tremendous asset to the Office of Environmental Management.” EM spokeswoman Melissa Burnison said in a written response to Weapons Complex Morning Briefing. Deziel was named to the DAS position in May after having served as Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Program Planning and Budget. It remains unclear who will be tapped to replace Deziel.
