About Janet Cushing
In a nutshell, I’m a generalist, continuously learning and adapting to the environment I find myself in so as to be successful in meeting the mission of the organization. I also bring authenticity, curiosity, and courage to ask the “why” questions, as I believe it’s one of the ways to ensure intentionality and improvement in the work that is done.Having spent the last 25+ years in federal service, I bring knowledge and skills in the following areas:Grants administrationScience managementPolicy analysisEcosystem restoration planningClimate change adaptationManaging/supervising diverse teams of employeesCrisis managementMentoring/coachingProject managementRegulatory complianceRelations with Indigenous communities and Tribal NationsPartnership buildingA few accomplishment highlights:* Coordinated with White House staff, agency senior leaders, Congress, non-profit organizations, and businesses to ensure government services were effectively provided to the public* Executed a week-long virtual training program on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility that had 2500+ participants* Successfully led and conducted multi-million dollar science and policy research in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Department of the Interior* Served as Vice-President, then President of my congregation\'s Board of Directors, managing transitions and crises during a time of ministerial and staffing changesWhile I’ve had a varied set of experiences with multiple agencies, the common thread or foundation of my work consisted of building and maintaining good relationships. That’s how the work gets done. Authenticity, respect, curiosity, and trust – these are what I have brought and will continue to bring to any future endeavor.* The above was written without the use of AI.
