Tasha Ford is the Director of the Federal Records Center Program. She was previously the Director of the Executive Secretariat division in the Office of the Chief of Staff where she directed the operations of the Archivist's Office, ensured effective communication with all NARA units, and assisted the Archivist and Deputy Archivist in coordinating program and policy matters across the agency to achieve NARA's mission and strategic goals.

Tasha began her NARA career at NPRC in December 2006, where her last position was the Branch Chief of the Reference Service Branch at Valmeyer, supervising two divisions within the branch. She relocated to Washington, DC, in April 2014 to work for two years as a Project Manager in the Office of the Archivist. Tasha provided direct support to the Archivist, Deputy Archivist, and Chief of Staff on multiple projects, including workplace culture efforts, the creation and development of the Managers and Supervisors forums and handbook, and the One Voice customer service initiative. In July 2016, Tasha was promoted to a program and management analyst in the front office for Agency Services, directly supporting Executive Jay Trainer and Chief of Staff Stefanie Hutchins. She has largely devoted her time recently to improving employee experience for all Agency Services staff by working with agency-wide POCs of key functions, including performance management, employee relations, learning and development, EEO and affirmative employment, and the RESOLVE program to collaboratively identify and resolve both short and long-term workplace issues that ultimately impact internal and external customer service delivery.
