To Everyone in OCIO –
I am forwarding to you (below) the Deputy Secretary’s announcement that Bill Turnbull will be Acting CIO after I retire. My last day in the office will be February 26. I will be assisting Bill during the next few weeks as he prepares to assume his new responsibilities.
As you know, Carl Staton long ago developed plans to retire in early April. Carl will continue as Deputy CIO until he retires. While he is still here, Carl will also be assisting Bill Turnbull with his new duties.
I know that all of you will enjoy working with Bill over the next several months, while the search goes on to select a permanent CIO.
Regards to all,
Tom
