On February 23, 2017, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. announced the appointment of our very own Lee Ann Bennett, former Clerk of the Florida Middle Bankruptcy Court and Immediate Past President of the NCBC, as the new deputy director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. She will serve as deputy to AO Director James C. Duff. Lee Ann succeeds former deputy director, Jill C. Sayenga, who retired after a nearly 30-year career with the Federal Judiciary.
In her new position, Lee Ann will provide management and oversight of day-to-day operations and implement short-and long-term goals, objectives, and policies. In announcing his selection, the Chief Justice noted, “Lee Ann has received high praise for her work as a bankruptcy court clerk and for her contributions to the Administrative Office. She has provided expert advice and assistance to Judicial Conference committees and advisory groups.” Director Duff noted that “Lee Ann is well known in the federal court system for her organizational skills and collegial approach to management. She will provide well-informed and practical leadership within the AO and strengthen its services to the courts.”
We wish Lee Ann all the very best and congratulate her heartily in her new position!
