Englebert named Center for Public Administration and Policy's first Inclusive Management Fellow
Capt. Suzanne Englebert, chief of prevention for the 7th District, U.S. Coast Guard, Miami, Fla., has been named the first Inclusive Management Fellow of the Coast-to-Coast Inclusive Management Initiative within the Center for Public Administration and Policy and the School for Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech, National Capital Region.
Englebert was chosen for her successful leadership in the Coast Guard during the past decade.
Making the announcement during Center for Public Administration and Policy's annual Fall Roundtable on Leadership and Administration in Alexandria, Anne Khademian, associate program chair said that “Capt. Englebert’s dedication represents the core principles of inclusive management, and her appointment is an important step toward supporting a community of scholars and practitioners dedicated to enhancing democracy through inclusive practices.”
Englebert’s application and practice of inclusive management principles has been most evident in her efforts to address international and national port security priorities in the Post 9-11 marine environment.
The Coast-to-Coast Inclusive Management Initiative is representative of Khademian’s research and that of Martha Feldman, professor, University of California, Irvine, and demonstrates the Center for Public Administration and Policy’s commitment to examining the challenges of leadership in administrative settings, and to spearheading the scholarly, pedagogical, and practitioner efforts to develop a model of leadership that is distinctive in its administrative context.
As an Inclusive Management Fellow, Englebert will participate in the Initiative’s research efforts through interviews and field observation conducted by Khademian, Feldman, and doctoral students, and in events sponsored by the Inclusive Management Initiative, such as the Center for Public Administration and Policy Roundtable on Leadership and Administration, conferences, forums, and other programs.
Upon graduation from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in 1984, Englebert served as a Deck Watch Officer aboard the 180-foot buoy tender Coast Guard Cutter IRIS which operated off the coast of Oregon, and then was assigned to command a Long Range Aids to Navigation Station in Okinawa, Japan. Englebert is a fully qualified Marine Inspector responsible for inspection and marine safety field programs off the coast of Maine (Rockland) and in the Upper Great Lakes (Duluth, Minn.).
While assigned to Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., she was a leader in developing national regulations for lifesaving safety standards, pollution prevention standards, and comprehensive maritime security requirements mandated by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. She was named Captain of the Port of St. Louis, Mo., in 2003, the first Commander of Sector Upper Mississippi River in 2006, and in August 2006, she was appointed to her current position.
Englebert holds a Masters of Science in Engineering degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and an M.S.E. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan.
