    For Immediate Release: April 8, 2020 Contact: Emma Wells, [email protected], 215–622–8623 PENNINGTON, N.J., Apr.---Cecilia Rouse sworn in as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers to President Biden On March 12, Cecilia Rouse was sworn in as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) by Vice President Kamala Harris. Rouse was a member of the Pennington School Board of Trustees from 2017 until March 2021, Pennington’s 2020 Commencement speaker, and is a current Pennington School parent. Rouse was nominated by President Joe Biden in December to lead the CEA, an agency within the Executive Office of the President of the United States that is charged with offering the President objective economic advice on the formulation of both domestic and international economic policy. The Council bases its recommendations and analysis on economic research and empirical evidence, using the best data available to support the President in setting the nation’s economic policy. Rouse previously served on the CEA under President Obama, and will be only the fourth woman, and first Black, to lead this agency. Rouse is the former dean of Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs. She writes, “This is a moment of urgency and opportunity unlike anything we’ve faced in modern times. The urgency of ending a devastating crisis. And the opportunity to build a better economy in its wake—an economy that works for everyone, and leaves no one to fall through the cracks.” The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6 through 12, in both day and boarding programs.

We expect an announcement on Director of the National Economic Council (not Senate confirmed) to come shortly, followed by other Cabinet heads in the coming weeks such as Attorney General, Commerce Secretary, HUD Secretary, DOL Secretary and US Trade Representative. Biden has nominated and appointed women to serve in key positions in his Administration, including the nomination of Janet Yellen to be Treasury Secretary. And while Biden continues to build out a Cabinet that “looks like America,” the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus continue to push for additional racial diversity at the Cabinet level.” Key appointments and nominations to the White House Senior Staff and economic and national security teams are included below, many of whom served in the Obama Administration (*).
