“The goal of this outreach is to create an inclusive work culture where women can thrive and optimize their achievement for the organization as well their personal growth,” said Lynda Williams, a professor in the Department of Criminal Justice Administration and former deputy assistant director of the Secret Service’s Office of Human Resources.

In addition to its protection of the president, vice president, presidential and vice presidential candidates and nominees and visiting dignitaries, the U.S. Secret Service investigates crimes, both national and international, against the country’s economic system and currency.
