 BARBARA  J.  DOUGLAS  NAMED  ASSOCIATE  CHIEF  FOR  PROGRAM  COORDINATION 
 AND  MANAGEMENT  IN  CONSUMER  INFORMATION  BUREAU 


 Washington,  DC  --  Barbara  J.  Douglas  has  been  named  Associate  Chief  for  Program 
 Coordination  and  Management  in  the  Consumer  Information  Bureau  (CIB).  She  will  serve  as 
 Chief-  of-  Staff  to  the  Bureau  Chief. 


 Douglas  joins  the  CIB  from  her  position  as  vice  president  with  America's  Promise  -  The 
 Alliance  for  Youth,  a  national  not-  for-  profit  organization.  At  America's  Promise,  she  developed 
 and  managed  relationships  and  supervised  outreach  efforts  with  key  corporate,  philanthropic, 
 not-  for-  profit  and  faith-  based  organizations.  Douglas  also  served  as  a  project  director  with 
 the  National  Center  for  Neighborhood  Enterprise,  a  nonprofit  organization  dedicated  to  helping 
 people  in  low-  income  communities  become  self-  sufficient  through  public  policy,  leadership 
 training  and  economic  development  initiatives. 


 K.  Dane  Snowden,  Chief  of  CIB,  said,  "I  am  delighted  to  have  Barbara  join  the  bureau. 
 She  brings  a  wide  range  of  legal  and  non-  legal  knowledge  and  experience,  with  an  emphasis  on 
 customer  relations,  outreach  to  targeted  populations  and  groups,  and  a  dedication  to  excellence, 
 all  of  which  is  critical  to  our  work  in  the  bureau.  She  will  definitely  'hit  the  ground  running'  at 
 the  Commission." 


 Prior  to  her  service  in  the  not-  for-  profit  sector,  Douglas  was  an  associate  with  the  law 
 firm  of  Patton,  Boggs  &  Blow  in  Washington,  DC,  and  Baltimore,  where  she  practiced  civil 
 litigation  and  administrative  law.  She  also  served  as  a  court  law  clerk  on  the  District  of 
 Columbia  Court  of  Appeals. 


 She  is  a  graduate  of  Penn  State  University  and  Georgetown  University  Law  Center.
