My congratulations goes out to Roger Baker

I first met Roger a little over a year ago when he interviewed me for my present job at Dataline. At that time he was the CEO and we both shared a vision of how information technology could be used to reduce cost and improve efficiency throughout the Federal government.  He later left Dataline and through ACT/IAC Transition Study Group and the Technology Innovation and Government Reform team went on to provide important input to President Obama’s administration. 
Good Luck Roger !!!
