Friday Fun Facts: GSA Nominee Martha Johnson

0

On Monday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is scheduled to vote on the nomination of Martha Johnson to lead the General Services Administration.

In anticipation of the big event — and in celebration of Friday – we bring you some fun facts about Pres. Barack Obama’s pick to lead GSA, as harvested from this lengthy questionnaire released prior to Johnson’s June 3 confirmation hearing.

  • She was born in New Haven, Conn.
  • In the summers of 1967 and 1968 she was a waitress at Sims Café in Dickinson, N.D.
  • She taught English in Taiwan from 1974-1976
  • In 1992, she was an executive recruiting consultant for Ben and Jerry’s Homemade, the company that invented chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
  • She sings alto.

The questionnaire also contains Johnson’s full resume and her positions on the many challenges facing GSA, so it’s well worth a read.
