Glatt has served as director of the department since it became a standalone state agency in 2019. He has worked for the state for more than 40 years.
As accounting director, Jacobson has supervised the department’s financial operations, budgeting, federal grant management, procurement and fiscal compliance operations.
Armstrong’s office said the search for a permanent director is ongoing.
