U.S. AbilityOne Commission: Presidential Appointees
Fifteen Presidential appointee members, eleven of whom represent government agencies (including Departments of Agriculture, Air Force, Army, Commerce, Defense, Education, Justice, Navy, and Veterans Affairs, and the General Services Administration) vote on the Procurement List additions. The remaining four members are private citizens knowledgeable about the employment problems of people who are blind or have other significant disabilities, including those employed by nonprofit agencies affiliated with the AbilityOne Program.
The Presidential Appointees who are private citizens serve five-year terms and may be reappointed. Federal Government Appointees serve for the period of time designated by their agency. To see the biography of a specific Presidential appointee, please click on his or her name.
