I am Elaine Gangloff and I served in the National Institutes of Health. My
first job in the Federal government was as Voucher Examiner at the NIH
Administrative Office working on purchase orders, invoices and contracts.

There was never a spare moment as we processed payment for all the invoices
from purchase orders, contracts and grants for all of the Institutes. I also
worked for Public Health Service/Health Resources and Services

improve the health of all Americans.

technology was being adopted in the engineering and architectural sectors, I
participated in the selection and implementation of several CAD and CAFM

I was trained in Federal Acquisition of Automated Data Processing hardware

and services, and my job as a Space Management Specialist became that of a
project officer, acquiring and managing contractor support for the Division of
Facilities Planning, Office of Research Facilities. Our teams developed and
extended facility drawings and associated databases, tracking architectural

information at room level granularity across an inventory of over 200
facilities across the country, and correlated occupancy information with
