McClure to Lead Office of Citizen Services

GSA just confirmed that they have named David McClure an associate administrator, heading up the Office of Citizen Services and Communications. OCS manages all of GSA's public outreach efforts, including the federal web portal USA.gov and the Federal Web Manager's Council.

McClure joined the analyst firm Gartner in January 2005 as research director in the Global Public Sector group. He previously served as vice president for e-government and technology at the Council for Excellence in Government, and for 18 years as director of information technology management issues at the Government Accountability Office.

From an email sent to GSA employees this morning by Acting Administrator Paul Prouty:

Good morning, everyone. Today, it is my pleasure to announce another addition to our GSA leadership team.

Next Monday, David McClure will join us as the new Associate Administrator of the Office of Citizen Services and Communications.

Dave has decades of experience in evaluating and implementing IT management policies within the government. He is coming to GSA from Gartner, Inc., where, as the Managing Vice President of their Government Research Team, he led their efforts in government IT management practices. His experience prior to that includes service on the Obama-Biden Transition Team, the Council of Excellence in Government, and 18 years at the Government Accountability Office.

His expertise and vision will be invaluable as OCSC continues to find new and innovative ways to connect the public to government.

Please join me in welcoming Dave to GSA, and in thanking Martha Dorris for her tireless work as Acting Associate Administrator during this period of transition.

We will announce this appointment both internally and externally later today through a news release and GSA Update.

Thanks,

Paul
