Future HHS Leaders and Executives

My name is J. Janelle George and I am an Emerging Leader (Class of 2007) assigned to the Office of Community Services (OCS) at the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in Washington, D. C. I am grateful that my
first year as an Emerging Leader provided diverse learning experiences throughout the Department of Health and Human Services.

As a Social Science Analyst, I work at OCS in the Division of State Assistance on the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) and Social
Services Block Grant (SSBG) programs. As we celebrate Black History Month, I believe it important to acknowledge the historical connection between the CSBG and SSBG programs and the African American community. It is an honor and privilege to work on two programs born from the tenacity and sacrifices of the community leaders and civil servants who came before me. I am truly committed to ensuring the CSBG and SSBG programs produce positive social outcomes for the individuals, families, and communities they serve.

Working at HHS, takes me back to my time as a foster parent. It reminds me that the action or inaction of one professional can forever change the circumstances of the individuals, families, and communities we, as civil servants, have committed to serve.
