Gov. Mike Beebe has appointed A. Watson Bell of Searcy to chair the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Bell replaces Olan W. Reeves, who was appointed to the commission by former Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2003.
The governor’s office says Bell has been a practicing attorney in White County for more than 30 years, and has represented both workers and employers before the commission. Bell also has served as city court judge, a juvenile court judge, and a district court judge.
He sat as special justice on the Arkansas Supreme Court on three occasions.
