NHPRC Staff Changes
On September 18, 1997, John W. Carlin, Archivist of the United States and NHPRC Chair, announced a reorganization of his support staff in which Gerald George, then serving as NHPRC Executive Director, became Director of NARA's Policy and Communications Staff (NPOL) effective October 1, 1997. The Archivist also named Roger Bruns, former NHPRC Deputy Executive Director, then a member of NARA's communications staff, to serve as Acting NHPRC Executive Director. In accordance with the pertinent statute, the Commission will choose a permanent executive director after the prescribed selection process.
Dr. Joyce M. Ray, Assistant Program Director for Technological Evaluation, has left the Commission to become Director of Discretionary Programs for the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Dr. Ray, who also served as Acting Program Director for parts of fiscal years 1996 and 1997, was with the Commission for a little over two years.
Staff Assistant Delores G. Taylor has left the Commission for a position in the Department of Agriculture. Ms. Taylor, who spent almost nine years with the Commission, is now with the civil rights staff of the Foreign Agricultural Service. Her competence and willingness to assist staff and Commission members had made her virtually indispensable in running the office.
Secretary Artesia Robinson has left the Commission for a position in the Department of Education. Ms. Robinson was with the Commission for two years, serving primarily in support of the program staff. She is now with the impact aid program of the Office of Elementary and Post-Secondary Education.
The Commission staff wishes its former colleagues well in their new endeavors, and welcomes Roger Bruns in his new capacity.
