Before retirement, I served as Liaison Officer to most Federal Agencies,
including the White House and Postal Service, where I facilitated law
enforcement help and information exchanges between those agencies and the
FBI.
Since retiring from Federal service, I was employed for twenty years as a
Maryland District Court Commissioner. I have owned and operated a small
Maryland business. I volunteer at a food pantry, deliver “meals on wheels,”
monitor “warm nights” sessions, volunteer in the St. Mary’s County “Teen
Court” program, volunteer as an election judge and am active in my church. I
have also been an active member of various volunteer organizations, serving
on their boards, as well as on the board of NARFE Chapter 969, St. Mary’s
County.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
I am Dr. Sudha K. Haley and I served in the Department of Labor (DOL). I
st
am currently the 1 Vice President for the Maryland Federation of the
National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE). At
DOL I worked in the International Bureau as Senior Policy Advisor, and
before that under Deputy Secretary of Labor Delbert Spurlock as the Assistant
Deputy Associate Secretary of Labor. Among my responsibilities as ADAS, I
wrote the weekly Departmental Report to the White House and managed the
Programs, Personnel and Budgets of 10 DOL Agencies and offices, including
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Pensions and Welfare Benefits, and the
Women’s Bureau, among others. I embarked on my government service
career at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. I have led, spearheaded,
overseen and played vital roles in innumerable significant efforts to benefit
Americans and to advance Domestic and U.S. Foreign Policy. This was
enhanced by my fluency in several languages, working and studying overseas,
and especially because of my experience as a Fulbright Scholar to Israel. I
drafted, implemented and monitored Labor Chapters of our Trade Agreements
to save and enhance American jobs. For the State Department I served on
their Senior Foreign Service Promotions’ Boards and managed the Workers’
Rights Chapter of the 195 countries’ Annual Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices, which alerted Congress to overseas egregious human rights.
