During my career, I conducted, published, and managed economic research on
a variety of economic policies ranging from natural resources and agriculture

to financial regulation. I provided objective economic analysis to a variety of
congressional committees to include both the House and Senate Financial
Services Committees and received a special commendation from Chairman
Henry Gonzales of the House Banking and Financial Services Committee.

In addition to my work for the US Government, I have served as an adjunct
professor at George Mason University, Marymount University, and Virginia

Tech and committee member on numerous theses and dissertations. In 2005, I
was asked to assist the IMF in the area of banking policy and early warning
systems. Since then I have served on missions to Armenia, Austria,

Azerbaijan, Kenya, Mexico, Mongolia, Nigeria, Romania, Sierra Leone,
Seychelles, Trinidad, Turkey, and Uganda. In each instance, I sought to
provide analytical systems to benefit public policy and monitor financial risk.

Throughout my career, I have been able to work with extraordinary civil
servants who pursued the goal of furthering good and meaningful public
policy.

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

I am Ron Shansby and I served in the General Services Administration in the
Washington headquarters. An Engineer by training, I had contracting officer
responsibilities to oversee the construction of many projects in our region to
ensure that our contractors were providing work in accordance with our
contract requirements. While at GSA, I attended the George Washington
University National Law Center and after four years completed the program

and was awarded my law degree. I became a member of the District of
Columbia Bar, and still maintain my membership. With this legal training, I
transitioned professionally at GSA to the Office of Procurement, where my

legal training and my engineering expertise enabled me to assume the
responsibility for developing policies and procedures for the administration of
design and construction contracts for the GSA. My career with GSA was both
rewarding for me and significant for the Administration with my combined

engineering and law expertise.
