PRESIDENT CLINTON NAMES SIMPSON COMMISSIONER
OF THE REHABILITATION SERVICES ADMINISTRATION AT EDUCATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Clinton today announced his
intention to nominate rehabilitation counselor Bobby Charles
Simpson Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services
Administration at the Department of Education.
"Bobby Simpson has dedicated his life to helping people with
disabilities and I am grateful that he has agreed to lend his
commitment and experience to our Administration," the President
said.
Since 1989, Simpson has served as director of the Arkansas
Division of Rehabilitation Services, responsible for planning and
directing operation of rehabilitation programs statewide. From
1985 - 89, Simpson served as a research and training coordinator
in Arkansas' Region IV Rehabilitation Continuing Education
Program in Hot Springs. Simpson was executive director of the
Austin Resource Center for Independent Living in Austin, Texas
from 1981 - 85 and earlier served as a rehabilitation instructor
at Victoria College in Gonzales, Texas (1975-78).
Simpson earned a BA in Sociology from Hardin Simmons
University in Abilene, Texas in 1973 and a MA in Rehabilitation
Counseling from Texas Tech University in 1974.
The Rehabilitation Services Administration provides national
leadership for, and administers, basic state and formula grant
programs, service projects and coordinated programs that
encourage vocational rehabilitation and independent living for
individuals with handicaps. These programs seek to maximize
handicapped persons' employability, independence and integration
into the workplace community.
