Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue is rolling out more of her Cabinet picks.

Monday she announced cabinet secretaries and leadership appointees to help direct North Carolina's economic development departments.

Among the appointments were Secretary of the Department of Transportation and other Department of Transportation leadership positions, Secretary of Commerce and Deputy Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Cultural Resources, and Chair of the Employment Security Commission.

"Each of the leaders who joined my administration today will play a key role in our efforts to create jobs and grow our economy," said Governor-elect Bev Perdue.

As with her previous cabinet appointments, during the press conference Perdue gave each appointee an order to report back to her in 60 days with the five most pressing problems facing their agencies. She also set four firm standards of excellence expected from all her appointees: high-expectations for the performance of state government and employees, hands-on leadership, early disclosure of new problems or incidents, and accountability to the public by providing quality customer service and wise spending of tax dollars.

The nine appointees are:

Eugene A. Conti Jr., Ph.D. - Secretary of Department of Transportation
Brigadier General James H. Trogdon, III - Chief Operating Officer, Department of Transportation
Susan Coward - Deputy Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs, North Carolina Department of Transportation
Terry R. Gibson, PE - Director of Highway Administration, North Carolina Department of Transportation
Anthony W. Roper - Deputy Secretary for Administration and Business Development, North Carolina Department of Transportation
J. Keith Crisco - Secretary of Commerce
Dale Carroll - Deputy Secretary, North Carolina Department of Commerce
Linda A. Carlisle - Secretary of Cultural Resources
Moses Carey - Chair, Employment Security Commission

The outgoing lieutenant governor has already named leaders for the departments of correction, juvenile justice, and crime control and public safety. There are seven more Cabinet spots left to fill, including in the departments of transportation and health and human services. She is expected to announce more appointments Tuesday.

Perdue's inauguration as governor will be Saturday.
