Dave Bowie was a vital part of one of the most successful Affirmative Action/DEI programs of all time; The Merrit System Affirmative Action Office/Division of Affirmative Careers. David's leadership has made it possible for thousands of people of color to lead dynamic careers. He will be sorely missed.
