Dorothy, we hardly knew you! Yesterday, the GSA named Dr. Dorothy Robyn as
the Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service, replacing a central figure in
the Las Vegas scandal. No, not
Harry. Dr. Robyn has served as the Deputy
Undersecretary of Defense for Installations and Environment for the last three
years. She was responsible for overseeing 29 million acres and 300,000 buildings. Going
to the GSA in the wake of the recent failure in leadership there is typical of DOD
folks. When most people run from the disaster
site………
Dr. Robyn has worked hard to make energy security a priority
despite not having the Title 10 authority the Services wield. She evolved the Strategic Environmental Research
and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology
Certification Program (ESTCP) into installation energy security technologies test
beds. Robyn changed the scope of the
Energy
Conservation Improvement Program to allow its wider application for energy
security. Her interpretation of various
policies have made efforts like the Army’s
$7.1B PPA RFP possible. Whenever
I had a question for her office, I always got a prompt and straightforward
answer. Usually from her. All of this has been done with the quiet
dignity and understated manner of a true professional.
DOD’s loss is GSA gain.
The crucible of the scandal through which they are now passing will (hopefully) leave them leaner, tougher and more self-aware.
Dr. Robyn will be a valuable addition to the GSA team and we wish her
all the best in this new challenge. Dan

Environmental threats are facets of your environment that pose a security risk. If out on the town, environmental threats might include a poorly lit alley or the kind of crowd through which you're moving. An environmental threat for a secure facility might be a tree with a branch that grows past a perimeter fence.
I agree a great choice for GSA, but one thing to note Bob Peck (having worked for Bob) was an excellent leader and visionary for GSA. He served two administrations (Clinton and Obama) and made numerous, progressive changes. The Las Vegas incident fell many solid leaders at GSA due to the poor decision-making of one individual in Region 9.
