WESTERN CIO NAMED TO EXECUTIVE SERVICE
LAKEWOOD, Colo.— Eun Moredock, Western Area Power Administration’s Chief Information Officer, was sworn in as a member of the Federal Senior Executive Service on Oct. 3.
As Western’s CIO, Moredock is responsible for leading the operation of Westernwide information technology programs and fulfilling key initiatives of the President’s Management Agenda. She is an integral member of Western’s senior management team and serves as an advisor to the Administrator and to other Western senior executives on information technology to improve business processes and to ensure cyber security and critical infrastructure protection.
“Eun brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Western’s information technology program,” said Mike Hacskaylo, Western’s administrator. “She has a long distinguished career in the Federal technology sector and is a great asset to Western. We are fortunate to have a person with her skills to continue the progress we have made in information technology management, performance and productivity at Western. Her office provides the important electronic services we take for granted in our day-to-day interactions with customers and others interested in Western’s business. As a member of the SES, she will continue to lead Western into the future of information technology to better serve our customers."
Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below presidential appointees. SES members are the major link between these appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity.
Moredock’s SES appointment was approved by the Deputy Secretary of Energy and confirmed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in Washington , DC .
With more than 29 years of IT experience, Moredock began her career with the Department of the Interior and progressed through more responsible assignments. Before joining Western in 2000 as the CIO, she was Metrics Program Office Chief at the Defense Information Systems Agency.
Moredock holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics with computer science emphasis from the Metro State College, Denver, and a master’s degree in technology management from the University of Denver.
Western Area Power Administration annually markets and transmits more than 10,000 megawatts of power from hydroelectric powerplants owned and operated by the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 15 western and central states. It is part of the Department of Energy.
