Jason Tedtaotao to begin new post as deputy director
January 13, 2009
Days after appointing former Senator Dr. David Shimizu as Acting Director of Mental Health, Governor Felix P. Camacho selects Jason Tedtaotao to serve as Acting Deputy Director of that same agency. Mr. Tedtaotao, formerly of the Guam State Clearing House served as Special Assistant for Policy Clarification and Training.
During his tenure at the Guam State Clearing House, Mr. Tedtaotao led the review of local applications for federal grants-in-aid. He also worked to ensure program compliance to both local and federal statutes.
He played a key role in the State Clearinghouse's first Training and Outreach Program, which trained public-sector personnel to identify grant related funding, project design, and program evaluation.
"Jason has proven his leadership ability and I am confident he will bring the same level of commitment and expertise to his new position as deputy director," said Governor Camacho. "The challenges facing the Department of Mental Health require leadership dedicated to a vision of success; I believe Dr. Shimizu and Mr. Tedtaotao are the leaders we need to move the Department of Mental Health forward."
Mr. Tedtaotao's education includes a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education, minor in Political Science and a Masters of Public Administration. Mr. Tedtaotao has served a number of years in the Legislative branch most recently as a Senior Staff member to the Committee on Finance and Taxation, led by Senator Eddie Calvo during the 28th Guam Legislature.
