Biography
Lucille Dickinson
Chief of Staff, Office of the Chief Financial Officer

Lucille Dickinson was appointed chief of staff to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) in December 2002. Dickinson, who joined the OCFO as a special assistant in June 2002, was formerly the city manager of Mount Rainier, Md. For almost eight years, she served Mt. Rainier as it made a major transition from minimal police and public works services and facilities to a wider range of services, improved employee benefits, and professional management.

During her tenure in Maryland, Dickinson received four "Awards for Excellence in Financial Reporting" and three "Distinguished Budget Presentation" awards from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). At GFOA's request, Lucille authored an article on budgeting in a small city for the April 1997 Government Finance Review.

Dickinson began her career with the city of Newark, NJ. In her six years there, she served as budget examiner, assistant budget director and assistant to the director of finance. Between Newark and Mount Rainier, Dickinson served more than four years in state and local matters at the US Department of the Treasury (including the program of loan guarantees for New York City bonds from 1979-1981), four years in Treasury's Executive Secretariat, and six years in the defined contribution plan for federal employees.

Dickinson is a graduate of Oberlin College with a bachelor's degree in government, and she received her master's of public administration from George Washington University.
