Karen M. Czarnecki is a senior advisor to U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. She joined the Labor Department in June of 2001, and in June 2003 she was appointed Director of the Office of the 21st Century Workforce. In addition, she serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Intergovernmental Affairs, giving her responsibility for outreach to state and locally-elected officials.

Ms. Czarnecki carries out the vision put forward by President Bush and Secretary Chao of a prepared workforce to meet the needs of both workers and their employers.

Under Ms. Czarnecki’s leadership, the Office of the 21st Century Workforce works with other DOL program agencies to address the many challenges of improving America’s competitiveness in a dynamic economy. Among its programs, the Office hosts major conferences and workshops and publishes various materials to highlight the strategic workforce initiatives set forth by Secretary Chao.

The Office of the 21st Century Workforce also maintains relationships between the Secretary and several important demographic and social groups that are critical to the Department's mission. Ms. Czarnecki oversees DOL's outreach to many diverse audiences, including small-business owners, women entrepreneurs, Asian Pacific Americans, Hispanic Americans, and African Americans.

Prior to joining the Labor Department, Ms. Czarnecki was the Director of the Civil Justice and Health and Human Services Task Forces at the American Legislative Exchange Council, a bipartisan, non-profit membership association of state legislators. She also held positions focusing on federal-executive branch relations and state and local governments at the Heritage Foundation, served as Director of Lectures and Seminars, and oversaw the Heritage Job Bank, filling vacancies on Capitol Hill, in think tanks, and in the private sector.

Ms. Czarnecki's prior government experience includes service in the Reagan White House, and in the Administration of President George H.W. Bush as a Special Assistant to Vice President Quayle for Domestic Policy and Public Liaison.

In over two decades in public policy, she has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, Canadian Public Broadcasting, and C-SPAN. For almost eleven years, in her personal capacity, she has appeared regularly on To the Contrary, Public Broadcasting System’s women’s public-affairs program.

Karen M. Czarnecki received a Juris Doctorate from the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in World Politics from Catholic University, as well. She is a graduate of the Institute for Comparative Political and Economic Systems of the Fund for American Studies in conjunction with Georgetown University.


Sourcewatch and EL

[edit]

A recent edit deleted the External Link to Sourcewatch. The article there had a lot more material than is in the Wikipedia article, mostly critical but including some items of praise. I've copied a bunch in as external links. I didn't see a justification for removing the link, but if you're going to remove links, it would be helpful to copy over useful secondary links first.JQ 10:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcewatch "does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article." Jayjg (talk) 01:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your suggestion over at Talk:Stephen Peter Rosen "If the material in it has value, it should be put into Wikipedia, and sourced to the original sources Sourcewatch used.", but I would prefer to do this first, then remove the external link. I note that the interpretation of this particular element of WP:EL seems to be pretty controversial, judging by the discussion there.JQ 01:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Let's continue the discussion at the Rosen article, rather than have it in two places simultaneously. Jayjg (talk) 02:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:20, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
