Queen E. (“Queenie”) Cox has more than 36 years of military and federal government experience in finance, budgeting, and travel. Prior to retiring in 2008 as Travel & Transportation Management Officer, she held the position of Director, Office of Finance and Budget, at the U.S. International Trade Commission. Her knowledge and experience in financial management and travel enabled her to:

Identify and implement cost-saving initiatives for travel

Interpret laws and rules pertaining to the Federal Travel Regulation

Write travel policies, handbooks, travel alerts, and Q&As

Provide training on government travel rules and regulations for staff at all levels.

Prior to implementation of the GSA eTravel initiative, she implemented an eTravel system that saved her agency approximately $500,000 in the first four years. Based on that experience, she became a member of the GSA eTravel Team.

Queenie also worked with various GSA interagency workgroups, such as the Agency/Organization Program Coordinators, which assisted GSA in creating A Guide for Managing Your GSA SmartPay Travel Charge Card Program. She also served as chairperson of the interagency workgroup that redefined the identifiers/codes for travel that are currently being used government-wide.

Queenie is co-founder of a Washington, D.C., travel-based organization called WO-MEN Travel Professionals (www.wo-men-travelprofessionals.org), which includes both government and industry travel professionals. She has been a contributing columnist for the monthly travel newsletter, the Federal Travel Report (published by Management Concepts) since 2009.
