June 23, 2009
Governor Felix P. Camacho has appointed Terry Mortera to be the Director of the Guam Liaison Office in Washington D.C. Mortera will serve as the official liaison between the federal government and the office of the Governor of Guam.
“I am confident that Terry Mortera will be a valuable voice for our island and my administration,” said Governor Camacho. “He will share his experiences and insights that I believe will offer much to the conversation about Guam’s tremendous potential with members of the Obama Administration, the U.S Congress, and business and civic leaders in our nation’s capitol.”
Mortera, served collateral duties as federal policy advisor as a special assistant to the Governor of Guam from January 2003 to February 2004. He also has served as Executive Director of the Guam Contractors License Board and most recently the Director of the Department of Land Management.
Active in many civic organizations, Mortera formerly was the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Guam before joining the Camacho Administration. He was the Chairman of the 64th Guam Liberation Day Committee and a volunteer music teacher at Mt. Carmel Catholic School in Agat.
Deputy Chief of Staff Shawn Gumataotao will continue to serve as the Federal Policy Advisor to the Governor and will support the operations of Washington D.C Office of the Governor of Guam.
Governor Camacho reestablished the Washington D.C. Office of the Governor of Guam at the Hall of the States in May after a 10-year absence. Guam is among 30 states in the 225,000 square foot facility on 444 North Capitol Street.
