Completed Term, Leaving After Five Years
Carol J. Carmody has
announced that she is leaving the National Transportation Safety
Board after nearly 5 years as a Member. Her last day on the Board
was Friday, April 1st, 2005.
Member Carmody joined the Board on June 5, 2000 as the 30th
Member of the NTSB.
She served two years as Vice Chairman of the Board from 2001 to
2003, during which time she served twice as the agency's Acting
Chairman.
During her tenure on the Board, Ms. Carmody was the on-scene
Member at several major transportation accidents, including the
aircraft accidents that killed Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan in
October 2000 and Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone in October 2002,
the derailment of an Amtrak train in Kensington, Maryland in July
2002, and the March 2001 crash of an airliner in Aspen, Colorado
that killed all 18 persons aboard.
She chaired Safety Board public hearings on the 2001 crash of
American Airlines flight 587 in Queens, New York,
and the 2002 derailment of a hazardous materials train in Minot,
North Dakota.
Before coming to the NTSB, Member Carmody held posts for 20
years in the aviation community, including serving as the U.S.
Representative to the Council of the International Civil Aviation
Organization in Montreal from 1994 to 1999.
Acting Chairman Mark V. Rosenker said, "I want to thank Carol
for her service to the Board. As she departs today, Carol can take
great pride in knowing that her direct efforts and those resulting
from Board actions over the last 5 years have done much to make our
nation's transportation modes significantly safer. I wish her all
the best in her future endeavors."
