NBC PROFILE - SUMMER 2005
Charles Nethaway Retires after 36 Years of Service |
 |
| Charles Nethaway, former Chief Architect, National Business Center (NBC) and the Office of the Secretary, retired on June 3 with more than 36 years of Federal service. After six years in the Army in the 1960's, Nethaway joined the Department of the Interior in 1974, in the USGS Water Resources Division (WRD).
|
"Charles Nethaway speaks on June 1 at the Web-Enabled Government Conference and Exhibition at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, providing information on NBC's plans for Lines of Business and a Services Oriented Architecture."
|
|
Nethaway was WRD's first Regional Computer Specialist and became Chief, Distributed Information System (DIS), implementing DIS-II, a nationwide set of applications, computers, servers, and a telecommunications network for all 5,000 WRD personnel. He became chief of the USGS Office of Computer and Communications Services and managed the USGS General Purpose Data Center and the national USGS network.
|
A "farewell" lunch to celebrate Nethaway's retirement was held on June 15th, at Maggiano's in Vienna, VA.
|
In 1996, Nethaway became the Washington Administrative Service Center (WASC) Deputy Director. When WASC merged into the NBC, he led web initiatives and developed one of Interior's first electronic commerce applications, "EC-21."
In early 2004, Nethaway became NBC's Chief Architect. At the time of his retirement, he was using OMB's Federal architectural reference models to develop an NBC modernization blueprint. He was named the cochair of the Departmental Enterprise Architecture Repository (DEAR) Integrated Project Team where he organized change management for the DOI enterprise architecture.
Nethaway plans to keep involved in technology standards bodies as a volunteer. He has accepted the chairmanship of the StratML Community of Practice, a new Extensible Markup Language (XML) group whose purpose is to develop a standard XML schema for strategic plans, including both private- and public-sector strategic plans.
Charles volunteered for many assignments. He was the publisher of this newsletter, NBC Profile, and worked with the NBC Profile Editorial Board to provide leads for articles and supervise production and distribution. He served for more than ten years as the USGS Fine Arts Committee Show Chairman at the USGS National Center. Nethaway plans to continue to be active in drawing, poetry, and photography.
As a multiple myeloma cancer survivor since 2002, Charles plans to help other survivors and caregivers by means of his membership in the Association of Cancer Online Resources.
