Engage in all aspects of Group functions – including personnel management, employee performance and salary management, group strategic planning, program development, group and program budget management, administration and compliance with Laboratory policies and procedures, including ISM and ISSM.

Deputy Division Leader (Acting), Earth and Environmental Sciences Division, June 2002 – Aug. 2002

Assisted the EES Division Leader and staff with management and oversight of Division operations. Engaged in all aspects of Division business, including budgets, audits, property, group restructuring, program development, Division Review Committee candidate selection, and others. Serve as champion for Complex Integrated Systems portfolio on Energy and Environment Council.

Deputy Group Leader, Atmospheric, Climate and Environmental Sciences, May 2002 – Oct. 2003

Lead and manage, jointly with Group Leader, a new group of 60 personnel from the merger of two smaller groups. Engage in all aspects of Group functions – including personnel issues, strategic planning, program development, budget management, performance, administration of policies and procedures including ISM and ISSM.

Project Leader, Decision Applications Division, Oct. 2001 – May 2002

Worked with D-Division Leader and Sandia and Los Alamos project developers to successfully obtain accelerated FY02 funding (from $8M to $20M) for the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC). Developed and coordinated multi-year program plans and statements of work for NISAC with Los Alamos, Sandia, and Defense Threat Reduction Agency staff. Developed and presented briefing materials to demonstrate NISAC capabilities for members of the Senate and Congress, other senior Washington leaders, and various media.
