Paul Roitman Bardack has successfully built and transformed private, public, and nonprofit sector organizations for thirty years. As a senior manager within Booz Allen Hamilton's e-learning practice, he crafted a series of global strategic alliances which were critical to the development of a $250 million per year line of business.

As first Chief Executive Officer of an educational website, MyJewishLearning.com, he built an award winning website which developed the largest audience for a website of its type in the world. He charted a new strategic direction for the Department of Defense Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, helping to roll out the work of that e-learning technical specifications organization more thoughtfully within the civilian sector.

He has been chosen by his peers to be President (now Chair Emeritus) of the US Distance Learning Association, the nation's leading trade society for e-learning professionals, helping that association to establish a policy recommending presence within the Congress and Administrations of both political parties.

As Deputy Assistant Secretary for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development he managed a $3 billion portfolio of federal programs and a nationwide staff of 125; Congress was so pleased with the turnaround of those previously troubled programs under his leadership that they appropriated more funding for them than the Administration had requested. He served as senior policy advisor to the New Jersey Governor, leading that state to become the first nationally to support the creation by low-income citizens of microenterprises as an anti-poverty tool. He has practiced law both on Wall Street and on Capitol Hill. And today he directs a distance learning research center, the Center for Online Workforce Development, at George Mason University.

Mr. Bardack is a graduate of Yale University and of the American University Law School, where he served as law review notes and comments editor.
