Our keynote speaker, John Koskinen, completed his term as Commissioner of IRS last November and is well known for his willingness to accept challenges. After years in the private sector working to stabilize large troubled companies, he was tapped to lead the President’s Council on Year 2000 IT Conversion and then served as Deputy Director of Management at OMB. He agreed to step in as Deputy Mayor and City Manager of the District of Columbia as it worked its way out of five court-appointed receiverships and was acting CEO of Freddie Mac in 2009 during the financial crisis. His unique combination of public and private sector experience provides important insights into the role of career professionals in government.
We’re also delighted to have joining us Holly Harvey, recently from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and recipient of AABPA’s 2018 James L. Blum Award for Distinguished Service. As Deputy Assistant Director from 2009 to 2017, she led a multidisciplenary team of dedicated professionals to produce independent, timely analysis of federal health care programs for Congressional deliberations. Prior to 2009, she held analyst positions for CBO, the Congressional Research Service, and the HHS Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation. AABPA’s President-Elect, Michael Sieverts, formerly Budget Director for NSF, will talk with Holly about the challenges of providing large amounts of timely, objective information for legislative decisions by Congress.
