Cathy Helm
Office of the Inspector General
Cathy L. Helm, formerly deputy inspector general at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, has been appointed inspector general for the Smithsonian, effective July 14. Helm has served in various roles at GAO since 1979. She became deputy inspector general in 2008; before that she was assistant director for the Office of Inspector General (2004–2008), assistant director for the Human Capital Office (2002–2004) and assistant director for the Natural Resources and Environment Team (1998–2002).
Helm graduated from George Washington University with a master’s in public administration in 1980. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 1978 at Western Kentucky University. She replaces Scott Dahl, who served as inspector general from January 2012 until November 2013.
Hugh Dowd
Office of Safety, Health and Environmental Services
The National Museum of Natural History now has a dedicated Registered Nurse in the Health Unit office. Hugh Dowd comes to the Smithsonian from the Department of Defense, where he served military personnel and their families in multiple locations, including for the past few years as head pediatric nurse at Caserma Ederle in Vicenza, Italy. Along with tending to the day-to-day bumps, scrapes and sunburns our visitors might incur, Dowd will help keep Smithsonian employees healthy by providing Occupational Health Services.
