Director O’Neal was elected as a regional director in August 2020 and is the first Virgin Islander to be elected to the executive committee of the National Association of State Budget Officers. In this role, she serves as a representative for the Eastern Region and participates in all National Association of State Budget Officers meetings and conference calls throughout the year. “This will be the first in-person meeting since I was elected to serve on this national level, and I look forward to sitting and working with other state budget directors to identify additional strategies for the management of COVID-related federal funds and other issues that we are all facing” said Director O’Neal.
