CANDIDATE SUMMARY DATA 2006-2007 White House Fellowships WESTLEY W. MOORE 27 Pasadena, Maryland Oxford University EDUCATION: DPhil Candidate 2006 MLitt 2003 Oxford University BA 2001 Johns Hopkins University AA 1998 Valley Forge Military College CURRENT EMPLOYMENT: Director of Information Operations: 1st Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division (Afghanistan) Responsible for organizing the accurate and balanced flow of information throughout Eastern Afghanistan, which includes 11 provinces, 8 provincial reconstruction teams, 5,000 soldiers, and a land base the size of Florida. My team contains assets that include Psychological Operations, Public Affairs, Civil Affairs, Combat Camera and Afghan Public Relations Officers. SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO PROFESSION: Spearheading US Plan for Afghan Reconciliation Program I volunteered to serve in Afghanistan with the elite 82nd Airborne Division as the Director of Information Operations in June 2005. I led a team of Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Afghans in one of the most successful military and diplomatic initiative: in Operation Enduring Freedom to quell the insurgency in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. Program Tahkim-E-Suhl (PTS), is an Afghan campaign where insurgents can put down their arms and reconcile with their newly formed government. Before arriving, only 27 former insurgents had joined PTS. Since taking over, more than 480 others have followed suit. My team is helping reunite this fractured country and proving that the use of force alone is insufficient to achieve victory on a complex battlefield. GNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY: Founder of STAND! (A non-profit supporting youth offenders) I recognized Reggie Reynolds' arrogant smirk. It was the same false bravado I brandished a decade earlier after being picked up for vandalizing an apartment building in the Bronx. While at Johns Hopkins, I met this pre-teen Baltimorean waiting for his juvenile court hearing. Most people had written Reggie off-but what I saw was an opportunity to give Reggie and others like him my time now, so that the justice system would not have to give them their time later. I founded STAND!, an organization which mentors, tutors, and advocates for juvenile offenders. Since its inception, STAND! has expanded to New York, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia and paired over 200 young people with mentors. MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT: Counter-Recidivism Pilot Program Annually, 650,000 inmates are released from prison. Seventy percent will be rearrested within three years. The following recommendations provide inmates economic and experiential preparation for release: 1) Establish a public/private partnership to create private sector employment opportunities for soon-to-be-released inmates, and 2) Provide working inmates with federally-matched Individual Development Accounts (IDAS). This offers skill-building and earned asset-generating opportunities for selected inmates who will soon leave prison, as well as create a potential employee pool for a diverse cohor of businesses. Recidivism costs represent 40% of the $170 billion to maintain our federal criminal justice system. Under this initiative, participating businesses would cover training and placement costs; hence the Federal investment would be limited to staff and the Federally-matched IDAS. This would save billions of dollars and an immeasurable amount in societal costs. OTHER NOTABLE SKILLS: ■ Authored four articles and was featured in two books on the threat of radical Islam in Latin America Member of a Debt Capital Markets group responsible for the $6.26 Billion Paris Club deal between Germany and Russia As a Paratrooper, I initiated first-ever university educational partnership between an American and Afghan University Currently sit on six different charitable and business boards, to include the Maryland Chapter of the March of Dimes Played intercollegiate basketball and football and was named to the Maryland College Football Hall of Fame Traveled extensively through 42 countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe

BIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVE 2006-2007 White House Fellowship WESTLEY W. MOORE My father, a popular radio and television personality in Maryland, died needlessly at the age of 32. Despite repeated attempts to explain his symptoms, ignorance about his illness led to the misdiagnosis of a rare form of acute epiglottitis. He was denied proper treatment, released prematurely from the hospital, and collapsed dead in front of me hours later. In just a moment, my mother became a widowed guardian of three, and I became fatherless at 3 years old. Soon after, I fell into a cycle of academic and disciplinary troubles, which coincided with being detained by the law and being placed on probation by my elementary school by the age of 12. Disappointed but not dissuaded, my mother found a way to raise money, by prevailing upon family and friends, and sent me to Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania for my eighth grade year. Despite initial difficulties, I excelled academically, tactically and athletically. I achieved excellence for the first time in my life and I vividly remember feeling that I never wanted to turn back. After receiving academic and athletic scholarships, I was able to continue my education and graduated from Valley Forge four years later. After turning down numerous college basketball scholarships, I joined the ROTC program at Valley Forge Military College. By the end of my sophomore year, I graduated with an Associates Degree with honors and was commissioned as an Army Officer. At 19 years old, I was the youngest U.S. Army Officer in 1998. I then transferred to the Johns Hopkins University and immediately became active in the student body. In addition to playing varsity basketball and football, I became engaged in the March of Dimes and other volunteer activities on campus. I also continued my engagement with the Baltimore area, and began to work closely with the city's Public Defender's office. The indelible experiences in that office, coupled with my own personal history led me to create Students Taking A New Direction (STAND!), which mentors, tutors, and advocates for first and second time juvenile offenders. This program started off with only three mentors, but within two years became the most popular volunteer program on the college campus. STAND! continues to grow to this day. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Phi Beta Kappa degree in international relations and economics and received a Rhodes Scholarship. I matriculated to Oxford University and began to study international relations. As a Rhodes Scholar, I took advantage of the opportunity and examined radical Islam in the Western Hemisphere. I completed my degree with honors and my research has led me to be touted as one of the foremost experts on the threat. Following Oxford, I accepted a job as an investment banking associate with Deutsche Bank. I began working for their prestigious Global Markets Division and focused on the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (CEEMEA) region. Despite not having an MBA, I was soon appointed the youngest Associate project lead in the entire division. After two successful and promising years in investment banking, I accepted an opportunity to serve in the Global War on Terrorism with the famed 1st Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. As the Director of Information Operations, I promoted the positive occurrences, contextualized the inflammatory images, corrected the false reports, and helped shape the face of the war. The first parliamentary elections in the nation's history and the emergence of the Afghan Reconciliation Program are some of the events where I have crafted coverage strategies. I could not be any more proud of what my team and I accomplished in Afghanistan and the lasting legacy we have forged. For my work, the 82nd Airborne Division have awarded me the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Action Badge. A local anchorwoman who worked closely with my father once told me, "I am just sorry your father couldn't finish the work he was put on this earth to do." I am determined to demonstrate that in me, he not only had a son who carries his name, but his passions, principles, and commitment to public service as well.
