Department of Homeland Security – Consultant to Office of Science and Technology
White House – Consultant to Office of Science and Technology Policy
Black & Veatch - SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, CKO and CTO

In October 2003, Voeller took a year leave from Black & Veatch to accept an ASME Fellowship in the Office of Science and Technology Policy for the Executive Office of the President. His role at the White House office encompassed several unique activities not commonly available to a Fellow because Voeller brought very high security clearances with him from past Federal consulting efforts. At the end of the Fellowship year, he was asked to stay on as a consultant with offices at OSTP and White House credentials under a contract provided by DHS. His duties have included:

OSTP representative for developing the National Critical Infrastructure Protection R&D Plan
Helping lead the eight month effort of writing the first all-agency security research and development plan for the nation. The plan, called the Critical Infrastructure Protection R&D Plan or CIP Plan brought together all the capabilities of government to address the vast array of issues related to protecting the critical assets of the nation required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7.

As the OSTP representative, Voeller provided the early drafts of the plan to give the agencies a picture of what it should contain and how it might be structured. The plan was then assembled using writers and advisors from the major agencies who represent the real owners of the plan which will be updated annually and used to guide all CIP investment in the future. Voeller provided writing for all sections as well as the major graphics used to explain the complex plan.

Voeller also provided the CIP effort with a database of all the CIP-related RDT&E efforts done across government. The database was assembled by Voeller over several months and involved querying every major Federal database and collection which tagged over 500,000 projects across all agencies. Voeller then manually distilled these down to the projects specifically related to key aspects of infrastructure protection. No other database of this detail and breadth exists anywhere else and it is updated constantly with the most recent data.

OSTP representative for developing the Homeland Security R&D Strategic Plan
Developed in a very short schedule, this effort was designed to provide the White House with a view of strategic priorities in time to affect the 2005 budget process while waiting on the larger plan. Voeller drafted the CIP section of this plan and guided its editing.

National Infrastructure Protection Plan
For the sector plans containing specific RDT&E requirements and needs, Voeller helped write or reviewed content to ensure alignment with the other RDT&E efforts and plans across government.

NIPP SSA’s, GCC’s and SCC’s
Meeting with these bodies to support their RDT&E planning and providing knowledge on all other efforts occurring across government that might aid in achieving their goals via his data collection.

NIPP Annual Sector Reports
Consultant to summarize all the NIPP Annual Report RDT&E sections and compare the results to the plans and goals in place or pending.

Consultant to the President’s Information Technology Advisory Council (PITAC)
A similar database focused on all aspects of cyber security was also assembled and has already been used to guide the efforts of both the CIP RDT&E effort as well as by the President's Information Technology Advisory Council or PITAC to develop a report to the President on the status and needs for cybersecurity. Again, no other such collection exists anywhere.

IT advisor to OSTP/EOP as member of the White House COOP/COG team
Was designated as a representative for OSTP in COOP/COG for both OSTP and NCS areas of concern.
.
IIMG – OSTP representative to the Interagency Incident Management Group that advises Secretary Chertoff in times of national emergency. Am still designated pending revisions of the IIMG function being planned and still carry DHS and FEMA credentials.

CBRTA - Voeller also has been the Technical Leader, Chemical, Biological, Radiological Technology Alliance (CBRTA), working on advanced technology to deal with terrorist threats with 13 companies including Honeywell, 3M, Motorola, Lucent, General Dynamics, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Veridian, Cargill, Becton Dickinson, Syracuse Research Corp. and RAE.

CAPI - Voeller was the Co-Chairman, Critical Asset Protection Initiative (CAPI) of ASME, leading eight teams of world experts in planning first responder actions and risk analysis of terrorist incidents. This effort helped spawn ASME’s ITI, LLC now doing work for several areas of DHS including RAMCAP.
