Ga. Gov. Names State Rep. Massey to State Board of Workers’ Comp

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue announced the appointment of State Representative Warren Massey to the State Board of Workers’ Compensation.

“As a member of the General Assembly, Warren has been a dedicated public servant. I am pleased to appoint this distinguished Georgian to the State Board of Workers’ Compensation,” said Perdue.

The purpose of the Board is to promulgate policies, rules, and regulations; and to conduct training seminars for the purpose of educating various employers as to their liability regarding workers’ comp claims. Massey is filling the vacancy created by the expired term of Larry Smith of Jackson, Ga., and will serve as one of three appellate judges that compose the Board.

Massey, 56, has served in the State House of Representatives since 1996 representing District 24. He is also owner of C.M. Construction, a general contracting firm specializing in retail store construction.
