New Staff Selection Process
In addition to the new Director, Jocelyn White, the two other staff members named by the White House are Lucy Weber, Associate Director and Tiffany Willett, Education Coordinator. Lucy spent 10 years on Capitol Hill working for two Texas Congressmen and also served in then-Governor Bush's office as the Director of the Governor's Commission for Women. Tiffany comes to the program from Austin where she served as Legislative Director for state Senator Tom Haywood. Prior to that she was Business Development Director for a law firm.

Despite being a transition year, everything has gone smoothly with regard to the selection process. Applications for the 2001-2002 class increased by over 100%. This year's selection process was begun by Jackie Blumenthal who stayed with the program through the selection of the 103 semi-finalists. Former Fellow Jackie Lain ('99-00) stayed with the program to organize the Regional Panels so that there was no interruption as the new staff came on board.

Special thanks to the outstanding group of Regional Panelists for the difficult job of selecting 30 finalists.
