Early career
In the late 1980s, Metzenbaum served as the director of the Office of Capital Planning and Budgeting for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In that role she was responsible for the Commonwealth's capital budgeting, planning and monitoring of capital projects.[5] In the early 1990s, she served as the undersecretary of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs. She oversaw employees in five Commonwealth agencies and reformed the environmental permitting process to cut processing times and increase revenues. She also initiated reforms of the Commonwealth's Superfund program and led a project resulting in the creation of the New England Environmental Business Council.[4]
Career
Clinton administration
In 1993, Metzenbaum was appointed by President Clinton to serve as Associate Administrator for Regional Operations and State/Local Relations for the United States Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C., a position she served in until 1997.[6] She was responsible for management of EPA's ten regional offices and EPA's relationships with states and localities. She led the design and implementation of the National Environmental Performance Partnership System, which used data to streamline management attention to identifying potential problems and developing interventions.[7]
Academia
After her service in the
Obama administration
In 2009, Metzenbaum was appointed by President Obama as the Associate Director for Performance and Personnel Management at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).[14][15] In this role, she was responsible for implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act of 2010,[16][17] which requires strategic planning, goal-setting, annual performance reporting on all federal agency goals, and quarterly performance reporting and data-driven reviews on every agency's priority goals. She discussed the program in a 2010 meeting at the State Department in Washington, DC.[18] She established the performance.gov website, which she discussed in a 2011 article in The Washington Post.[19] She also led the government-wide Performance Improvement Council and was responsible for guiding government-wide personnel policy.[20][21] Her task to improve government performance is used as a case study by Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government[22] and is used as an example of how to efficiently make changes in government in G. Edward DeSeve's book The Presidential Appointee's Handbook.[23] In a 2011 review on the Obama administration's programs, Philip Joyce noted she was brought on as a 'highly regarded' colleague.[24] and Christopher Koliba noted that she advocated for increased studies of performance management systems.[25] When she left the Office of Management and Budget in 2013, Metzenbaum described the advances made in evaluating government performance.[26]
