Program Specialist , GS 11

The mission of promoting security and reducing poverty in the developing worldbycatalyzing the full range of Americas public and private capabilities and resources, andlinking those resources effectively with the governments and people we serve, throughworld-class, on-the-ground presence. I came to the agency anxious to see how myspecific job duties would fit into the grand scope of this broad mission statement. As

program specialist in the Information and Records Division I quickly learned that myinvolvement and any impact that I would have upon this mission statement would beprimarily in the area of support. As client liaison to our Latin American missions I amresponsible to provide assistance and expertise in the area of Records Management toour Records Management staff serving in various missions in the Latin Americanregion. Initially performing task in this area under the close supervision of my teamleader Cynthia Staple I am now working independently in responding to various phoneinquires and emails from missions with questions regarding the management of their

records. I have responded to roughly ten email request with solutions, and to date Ihave no pending unresolved issues. My primary area of oversight is that of managingthe Information and Records Division Electronic Records program. After completingrequired training for CTO certification I was assigned in May 2008 as CTO for ourelectronic records contract, the contractor is DKW Communications Inc. Sinceassuming the management of this contract I have initiated efforts to obtain space onthe agencies DeVnet server for piloting an electronic records application. Respondingto NARAs requirement to have all electronic systems throughout the Federal

Government scheduled by October of 2009 I am overseeing the efforts of theElectronic Records team to obtain the required forms to turn into NARA. We havereceived eleven Form 502s and have submitted two Form 115s to NARA forscheduling. To date we also have four Form 115s that are near completion, uponwhich they will be reviewed by myself and management in IRD and than forwarded toNARA. In managing the electronic records contract one of my first major actions wasto reduce the staff on the contract from five full time contractors to four full timecontractors. This decision was made in view of the fact that (1) the position had beenvacant for four months and the task to be performed by this position were being

accomplished by other members of the team including the CTO, (2) The elimination ofone deliverable from the contract-the revising and producing of 100 compact disk (3)The time commitment and other preliminaries required to bring another the potentialemployee up to the point where he would be able to fulfill the requirements of theposition would just not be in the best interest of the contract. The funds saved by theelimination of this position may be utilized in others areas of the contract.
