Chief Statistician Nancy Potok will retire from her leadership job at the Office of Management and Budget after a busy year coordinating the rollout of the Trump administration’s policies on data-driven decision-making.
After serving in her current position for nearly three years and playing a major role in the administration’s rollout of the Federal Data Strategy and the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, Potok will retire by the end of this year.
Potok made the announcement last Friday at a Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics meeting, a COPAFS spokeswoman told Federal News Network.
