GSA has appointed the former director of the National Academy of Public Administration’s Collaboration Project – a leadership project attempting to leverage collaborative technology and the Internet to solve government problems — as its new chief of staff.
According to GSA, Danielle M. Germain will oversee the office of the administrator, responsible for staffing of agency programs and projects, continuity of operations planning and emergency response efforts, and coordination with GSA’s 11 regions.
