Leah D. Daughtry has been designated acting assistant secretary of labor for administration and management, replacing Patricia W. Lattimore who retired today. Daughtry has been senior advisor to Labor Secretary Alexis M. Herman since 1997.

As the acting assistant secretary, Daughtry will be responsible for administrative policies and programs in human resources, safety and health, budget and finance, procurement, information resources, administrative services and overall compliance with nondiscrimination statutes.

"I am pleased that President Clinton has designated Leah Daughtry to this important position at the Labor Department," Secretary Herman said. "She has been an important member of my executive team since I became Secretary and she brings unique talents to her new position."

As senior advisor, Daughtry played an important role in advising the secretary on policy and program implementation. She represented the secretary with constituents, members of Congress, and representatives of labor, management and civic organizations. Prior to that appointment, she was the first executive director of Man to Man/Sister to Sister, a community-based non-profit human service agency. During the 1992 Clinton-Gore transition, she served as a member of the senior management team at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
