KROSKEY NAMED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CAPE CANAVERAL SPACEPORT MANAGEMENT
OFFICE

Providing premier base support services to the Cape Canaveral
Spaceport is Susan Kroskey's main objective in her new role as
executive director of the Cape Canaveral Spaceport Management Office
(CCSMO).

Effective April 6, 2003, Kroskey will assume this Senior Executive
Service (SES) position, managing the Joint Base Operations and
Support Contract (J-BOSC) for KSC and the 45th Space Wing (CCAFS and
PAFB). She will report to Kennedy Space Center Director Roy Bridges
and to the 45th Space Wing Commander Brig. Gen. J. Gregory Pavlovich.

"One of the most exciting aspects of this position is the opportunity
to enhance the partnership between the two Agencies," she said. "I
keep both Agencies well informed on the activities of the base
support contract including technical, financial and contractual
issues."

Kroskey is expecting to maximize her unique responsibility. "I look
forward to being a part of the senior leadership teams of both
agencies to effect changes and build a more robust,
performance-oriented spaceport for our future."

The Emory University summa cum laude graduate entered federal service
in 1982 as a Presidential Management Intern. Kroskey, who also holds
a Florida State University master's degree, previously served as the
deputy director of Installation Operations and in numerous managerial
positions under the Office of Chief Financial Officer (CFO),
including deputy CFO for Resources. 

She has received numerous awards and honors including the KSC Federal
Woman of the Year in 1992, the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal in
1993, the NASA CFO Special Services Award in 1997, the nomination for
a National Rotary Pace Achievement Stellar Award in 2000, and a NASA
Exceptional Service Medal in 2002.

Kroskey resides in Winter Springs, Fla., with her husband Joe and
their daughter Allison.
