GPO acting CIO named officially to the position

The U.S. Government Publishing Office announced Thursday that Tracee Boxley would move from her role as acting chief information officer to the office’s official CIO.

“Tracee has provided great leadership and a steady hand to our IT department during the last 11 months and I am proud to name her our new CIO,” said GPO Director Davita Vance-Cooks. “Tracee’s IT background and knowledge of GPO will provide leadership to this critical position, as the agency continues to meet the ever-changing technology requirements of Congress, federal agencies, and the public.”

As CIO, Boxley will be responsible for IT budgeting and policy for areas such as acquisition, implementation and operation of telecommunications and IT systems throughout the agency.

Boxley has served as acting CIO since November 2016, after the previous CIO, Chuck Riddle, left to join the SEC. Boxley has worked for GPO in various capacities since 2006.
