Doan to Step Down AS GSA Administrator
U.S. General Services Administration Administrator Lurita Doan announced today that she submitted her resignation as the head of the Federal government's premier contracting and building agency.
Washington, DC (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 30, 2008 -- U.S. General Services Administration Administrator Lurita Doan announced today that she submitted her resignation as the head of the Federal government's premier contracting and building agency. Doan will conclude her tenure as the first woman to head the GSA.
"It has been a great privilege to serve our nation and a great President,” said Doan. “The past twenty-two months have been filled with accomplishments: together, we have regained our clean audit opinion, restored fiscal discipline, re-tooled our ability to respond to emergencies, rekindled entrepreneurial energies, reduced bureaucratic barriers to small companies to get a GSA Schedule, ignited a building boom at our nation's ports of entries, boldly led the nation in an aggressive telework initiative, and improved employee morale so that we were selected as one of the best places to work in the Federal government. These accomplishments are made even more enjoyable by the fact that there were lots of people who told us they could never be done. I have great faith in the abilities of GSA’s dedicated team.”
Doan came to GSA as an accomplished entrepreneur having successfully established a minority-owned, small business. Doan capably managed GSA's $17 billion budget and 12,000 employees and leaves the Agency with employee morale at an all time highpoint, according to the most recent OPM survey.
