OII Director

Interim Director Jane Nesbitt 

Jane Nesbitt was appointed as Interim Director in February 01, 2026 to serve a term through June 2028. Previously, Jane was the Chief of Staff for OII, a position she had held since August 2022.

Jane was one of the first to join in the effort to create and build the agency. She was project manager for the team recruited when OII was established by the Legislature in 2021. The efforts of this foundational team were instrumental in laying the groundwork for the agency’s creation.

Former Director Roger Rogoff then appointed Jane as the agency’s first Chief of Staff. In her previous role, Jane was responsible for overseeing the agency’s mission, vision, growth and development. Her leadership spanned key areas such as staff hiring, training throughout the agency, policy development, and organizational development.

As Interim Director, Jane continues key agency initiatives, including plans for expansion of agency services into additional regions of operations.

Prior to joining OII, Jane served for 18 months as the first statewide COVID Compliance Operations Manager for the State Emergency Operations Center during the pandemic. ​She successfully managed six enterprise projects, contributed to Statewide Strategic Change Management initiatives and developed project governance on public safety.

“I am committed to supporting our staff while advancing the agency’s mission, vision, and values. I believe that when staff feel both personally and professionally fulfilled, respected, appreciated, and valued, we create an environment that attracts and retains top talent.

My dedication to creating a culture of belonging is reflected in my focus on active listening and compassionate leadership.

My guiding principle is: 'From profound loss, we find the strength to build something meaningful and enduring.'

This office stands as a reflection of that resilience rooted in the lessons of tragedy and guided by a shared commitment to serve. By honoring what brought us here, we move forward with purpose, compassion, and a clear vision.”
