Over the past several weeks, WIPP has been working with President-Elect Obama transition teams on policy issues and appointments for positions in the incoming Administration. They have been fully briefed on our Economic Blueprint and on several agenda items and projects that we feel are important for them to address over the coming weeks and months.
WIPP has also been collecting and processing names and resumes for appointments in the Administration. If you are interested in exploring such an opportunity, please make sure to first reference the Plum Book to evaluate what positions are open and at what level. To access the Plum Book, please click here. WIPP is committed to helping the next Administration identify qualified individuals who we hope are associated with WIPP.
Should you wish to apply, please forward your resume to me, personally, . In addition, please take the important step of registering your interest in an appointment through www.change.gov. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss this further.
