Department Of Consumer Affairs Carrie Lopez

Governor Schwarzenegger appoints new Director of the Department of

On Tuesday, August 11, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Brian Stiger as the new Director of the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA).  Stiger replaces former Director Carrie Lopez who resigned earlier this year. 

Prior to his appointment as Director of DCA, Stiger spent two years as the executive officer for the Board of Chiropractic Examiners where he successfully reformed the agency’s enforcement program by decreasing complaint processing time and reducing the backlog of consumer complaints.  From 2004 to 2007, Stiger served as Chief of the Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation.  Collectively, Stiger brings roughly 15 years of experience with various state agencies improving overall consumer protection. 

Governor Schwarzenegger issued a statement about the new appointment:

“Brian’s experience improving and streamlining many statewide consumer protection programs makes him the perfect person to lead this important department at this time,” said Governor Schwarzenegger. “The health and safety of Californians is my top priority and Brian shares this strong commitment. He will lead my Administration’s efforts to review all consumer protection practices at the department and enact any needed reforms to ensure the people of this state are protected against bad actors.”

The appointment of a new Director is critical and related to the eventual appointment of a new Chief of the Bureau of Security & Investigative Services.  As many of you know, that position has remained vacant since the retirement of former Chief Paul Johnson and we knew that the Director position needed to be filled first before a BSIS Chief replacement was announced.

CALSAGA congratulates Mr. Stiger on his appointment and we look forward to working with him and his agency moving forward.
