President Bush appoints the 2004-2005 Class of White House Fellows
Navy Supply Corps Newsletter, Sept-Oct, 2004
LCDR Patrick McClanahan, SC, USN, was one of the 12 outstanding individuals from across the country recently appointed as White House Fellows.
The 2004-2005 Class of White House Fellows represents a diverse cross-section of professions including business, law, non-profit, finance, and consulting. Additionally, three branches of the military are represented among the fellows.
McClanahan, 36, a native of Crofton, Md., is an Aviation Program Analyst in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. He manages and develops aviation readiness policy and programs, and oversees an operating budget of $9 billion.
McClanahan formerly served with distinction on two frigates, USS Downes (FF 1070) and USS Ouellett (FF 1077), one off the coast of Central America conducting counter-narcotics operations and the other in the Arabian Gulf enforcing the no-fly zone over Iraq. He logistically prepared the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis to carry out extended overseas operations. His earlier tours included Supply Officer at Camp David, and Aide and Flag Lieutenant to the Chief of Supply Corps and Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command.
His personal medals include the Meritorious Service Medal, four Navy Commendation Medals, and two Navy Achievement Medals.
McClanahan received an M.B.A. from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania and his bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame. While attending Wharton School he founded the Wharton Tax Assistance Program (WTAP) in 2001 to provide pro bono tax and financial assistance to low-income families, a project for which he received three awards. He currently serves as a volunteer at local cancer treatment center and is a member of the Board of the Navy Supply Corps Foundation.
The White House Fellows Program, founded in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, offers exceptional young men and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the federal government. White House Fellows typically spend one year working as full-time, paid special assistants to senior White House Staff, the Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries, and other top-ranking government officials.
Fellows also participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions with leaders from the private and public sectors, and trips to study U.S. policy in action. Following the fellowship year, fellows are expected to repay that privilege by contributing to the nation as better leaders and public servants.
The White House Fellows Program is one of the nation's most prestigious programs for leadership and public service. Selection as a White House Fellow is highly competitive and based on a record of remarkable professional achievement, evidence of leadership skills, a strong commitment to public service, and the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute successfully at the highest levels of the federal government.
The program has fostered leaders in many fields, including Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, former CNN President Tom Johnson, American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha Evans, United Nations Foundation President and former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth, and U.S. Senator Samuel Brownback.
