New Appointments at GPO

Acting U.S. Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks has appointed Lyle Green as Managing Director of Official Journals of Government and Ginger Thomas as Chief Human Capital Officer for the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). Green and Thomas each bring decades of Federal Government and private sector experience to their new positions. In addition, Juanita Flores, Assistant Director of GPO's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), will serve as Acting EEO Director.

As Managing Director of Official Journals of Government, Green will oversee the Office of Congressional Publishing Services, the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) Publishing Services, and the Congressional Record Index Office as well overseeing GPO's Continuity of Operations (COOP) plans. Green came to GPO in 1991 and has held various positions in the Office of Congressional Publishing Services prior to becoming director in 2006.

As the Chief Human Capital Officer, Ginger Thomas will plan and implement the human resources systems and oversee the policies and procedures that guide GPO's innovative human resources operation—policies designed to strike a balance of honoring the culture and values of GPO's rich history while positioning the agency to meet the evolving human capital demands of the future. Thomas came to GPO in 1999 and has held management positions in GPO's Customer Services and Human Capital business units. Thomas recently served as Director of Human Capital Operations.

As Acting Director of the EEO Office, Juanita Flores will administer policy and oversight of the EEO program, which includes efforts to ensure equal opportunity in employment throughout the GPO, provide for the equitable resolution of complaints of discrimination, and require compliance with Federal EEO laws, regulations, policy, and program directives. Flores joined GPO in 1999 and has served as the Chief of Counseling and Complaints Processing Division and as Assistant Director for EEO.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Lyle, Ginger, and Juanita in different capacities during our time together at GPO and I am confident that they will do an outstanding job leading their respective units," said Acting Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks. "Lyle, Ginger, and Juanita have played a critical role in GPO's internal operations of strengthening our workforce and external operations of meeting the information dissemination needs of Congress and Federal agencies."
