E-gov Official Leaves OMB

Andrew Ciafardini, the Office of Management and Budget's Government to Citizen e-government portfolio manager, is moving to another office in the White House after less than a year on the job, sources tell Government Executive. Ciafardini will serve in the White House's office of intergovernmental affairs, which serves as the president's liaison to state, local and tribal governments.

In his brief stint at OMB, Ciafardini led a project to collect data on the e-government projects to establish benchmarks to create performance targets for the initiatives.

When asked about Ciafardini's move, spokeswomen for OMB and the White House said that they do not have an announcement to make at this time.
