Hallway hero. Working in federal acquisition doesn't often get you invited to the Oval Office, but that's just where it took Stanton recently. Early this year, she and a few other select GSA officials went to the White House to discuss her agency's efforts in the past year to develop the Acquisition Gateway and "hallways" of product information that will make federal spending more effective and efficient. Stanton leads the charge on initial development of key tools that the acquisition community can use to learn about solutions, best practices and pricing strategies.
