Deborah A. P. Hersman (pictured) was officially sworn in last week for a third two-year term as NTSB Chairman. Serving as Chairman since 2009, Hersman was nominated for a third term by President Barack Obama on August 1, 2013, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on October 16.

"It is an honor to continue serving as Chairman of the NTSB," Hersman said. "I am grateful to lead this extraordinary organization and to work with some of government's most dedicated and professional public servants. I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow board members and the staff to make transportation safer for the traveling public."
