  • Program Coordinators prior to the formal creation of the Office included Jane Clark, Program Coordinator, 1976-1978; Jennifer Jarvis, 1978-1982; and Susan Yelavich, 1979-1994. Yelavich served as Assistant Director for Public Programs, 1994- . In 1992 Andrew Pekarik had served in a similar position as Assistant Director for Programs.
