Alan E. Feinberg
Alan Feinberg (BS Tufts University, MS University of Southern California) has spent the bulk of his distinguished 32-year government career as a program manager.
From 1975 to 1982, Alan 'apprenticed' at various government agencies, learning the skills needed to become a highly successful professional manager.
At the Naval Air Systems Command (1982-1998), Alan headed a 300-person program team with a $500 million annual budget that acquired all the ground support equipment used by Naval and Marine Corps aviation personnel to test, maintain, repair, and support both fixed and rotary aircraft ashore and at sea. In this capacity, Alan earned the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award, a Navy Unit Commendation, a Department of Defense Value Engineering Management Award, and a Department of Navy Acquisition Improvement Award.
In November 1998, Alan transferred to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to head the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) product team. STARS, with an estimated life cycle cost of nearly $2 billion, is the prime element of the FAA's Terminal Air Traffic Control System modernization program. Under Alan's guidance, a once troubled program gained a new life; the team successfully commissioned the first full system at an operational site (Philadelphia) on schedule in 2003. For this, Alan was honored with an FAA Acquisition Award for contributing to the efficiency of the National Air Space.
After a field detail in Seattle, Washington and a number of short term Headquarters assignments, in 2004, Alan became the Senior Safety Engineer for the FAA's Office of Terminal Services. In this role, Alan is responsible for implementing the internationally recognized Safety Management System within the FAA's Terminal domain. This is a national program that will take five years to complete.
Alan and his wife Gay, an art teacher, have been married for 28 years and have 3 children: Cheryl and Beth, both school teachers (and both engaged to be married next year!!) , and Daniel, a student at the Cornell University School of Law .
Alan is eagerly looking forward to the spring when he can start playing softball again.
