 Washington,  DC  –  John  Muleta,  Chief  of  the  FCC’s  Wireless  Telecommunications  Bureau,  has  named  D’wana  R.  Terry  as  his  Chief  of  Staff  and  Associate  Bureau  Chief. 
 In  her  new  position,  Ms.  Terry  will  oversee  strategic  and  long-  range  planning,  assist  in  Bureau  management,  provide  staffing  and  support  for  the  Bureau  Chief,  and  advise  the  Bureau  Chief  on  key

 In  that  role,  Ms.  Terry  managed  the  Division  responsible  for  developing  and  implementing  a  regulatory  framework  designed  to  ensure  that  public  health  and  safety  personnel  and  other  entities 
 involved  in  the  Nation's  critical  infrastructure  industries  have  access  to  effective  and  efficient  communications  technologies  and  services,  particularly  in  times  of  emergencies  and  crises.  Earlier
