AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry appointed five Texans to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy – including a Marion resident – and named one of the group as its presiding officer.

John Steinberg of Marion is being reappointed to the board. He is director of safety and security at Little Caesar of San Antonio. He is chairman of the South Texas Safety Council and former chairman of the Greater San Antonio Society for Industrial Security.

He volunteers as a mediator and is a board member of the Bexar County Dispute Resolution Center. His term will expire Jan. 31, 2013.

Another San Antonio area resident, David King, a partner of Ernst & Young, L.L.P., was also named to the board. Perry appointed Coalter Baker of Austin as presiding officer.

The board regulates public accountants and administers the certified public accountant exam in Texas.
