InfoOn Jan. 28, 1999, Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman announced that Sally Thompson is designated as acting assistant secretary for administration at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in addition to her position as USDA�s chief financial officer.

As acting assistant secretary for administration, Thompson oversees the policy and coordination of USDA�s administrative activities, including human resources, ethics, procurement, small and disadvantaged business utilization, property management, headquarters operations, judicial and administrative law reviews, contract appeals, and outreach to populations under-served by USDA programs.

As chief financial officer, Thompson reports directly to the Secretary on all financial management activities relating to the programs and operations of USDA. She is also responsible for maintaining an integrated agency accounting and financial management system.

Prior to her appointment as CFO in March 1998, she served as the Kansas state treasurer since 1991. While in that position she reformed the state�s investment laws, earning Kansas $700 million in interest income, and updated the state�s unclaimed property laws, returning more than $12 million in abandoned assets to the rightful owners.

Thompson was the president and chief operating officer of Shawnee Federal Savings in Topeka, Kan., from 1985 to 1990. She served as the vice president and manager of business planning and financial analysis at the United Bank of Denver from 1982 to 1985 and was a certified public accountant, audit manager, and management consultant for Touche Ross from 1975 to 1982.

A native of Spokane, Wash., Thompson graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a B.S. degree in business, accounting, and finance in 1975.
