The Administrative Staff (AS) serves and supports the Director and managers and staff of the Smithsonian Institution Archives through a full range of administrative and technical services required to implement and facilitate the office's workload and to meet laws and regulations governing the Institution and its policies and procedures. AS provides advice on the most appropriate courses of actions concerning financial and administrative procedures to meet office and Institutional program objectives. The Staff assists with planning and budget formulation, the execution and monitoring of approved budgets and the maintenance of accounts. It handles personnel actions, procurement, property management, travel, transportation, facilities management, security, reports management, and telephone and reception services for SIA staff and researchers. The Administrative Staff is the principal liaison with the Institution's financial management, human resources, procurement, facilities, and other administrative and support offices.

During FY 1999 the Administrative Staff provided responsive support to the office, Institutional staff, and to the public. AS met the goals and objectives of the office which enabled the office staff to accomplish many projects using the least costly method of procurement. The Staff's efforts added to the smooth, efficient, and effective operation of the Smithsonian Institution Archives throughout FY 1999.
