Statement by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on the Resignation of the Chief Human Capital Officer

Release Date: December 18, 2007

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010

Chief Human Capital Officer Marta Perez has announced her departure from the department effective Jan. 6, 2008. Marta’s knowledge and experience in developing and managing personnel systems has helped to make the department a model in human capital service for the federal government.

Marta set plans in motion that will ensure the department hires and retains a talented and diverse workforce. She led the way to create a department-wide culture of performance, and established high-quality learning and development programs. Under Marta’s direction, we implemented a department-wide integrated leadership system. Although Marta will be leaving soon, she leaves in place a strong transition plan and team that will carry the department through 2009 – and beyond.

I am grateful for Marta’s service and dedication to the federal government, and thank her for her contributions to America’s security. I will miss Marta personally and professionally, and wish her well in her future endeavors.
