Guerrero named Director of Courts
Tracy M. Guerrero was named Director of Courts for the CNMI Judiciary. Guerrero took on her new role Sept. 2, 2008, replacing Margaret Palacios, who retired in April 2008. A native of Saipan, Guerrero recently relocated to the CNMI from San Francisco, California, where she spent seven years as a senior analyst at the U.S. Government Accountability Office. While at GAO, Guerrero worked on various reports to the U.S. Congress on issues such as U.S. government agencies’ efforts to address terrorist financing, the impact of amended compact funds to the governments of the Marshall Islands and Federated States of Micronesia, and procurement practices at the U.S. Agency for International Development. Prior to working at GAO, Guerrero attended California State University at Hayward, where she earned an MBA with a joint emphasis in Finance and New Ventures Management. Guerrero also holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley.
Guerrero says she is pleased to be back on Saipan, stating, “After living in the mainland for almost 10 years, my husband and I have finally returned home to raise our two children and put our education and work experience to good use here in Saipan. I welcome the challenges ahead as the Director of Courts for the Guma Hustisia, and I look forward to becoming productive contributor to our local community.”
Some of Guerrero’s responsibilities as the Director of Courts for the CNMI Judiciary include supervision of the administrative duties of the court, administration of the Guma Hustisia, and liaising with community leaders and other branches of government.
Chief Justice Miguel Demapan states, “Ms. Guerrero is a top-flight talent with a track record of success working with the federal government. Considering her extensive experience we consider ourselves fortunate to have her working with us.” [B][I](PR)[/I][/B]
