National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman had some high-profile exposure this week ahead of an anticipated Senate confirmation hearing on her nomination to head the agency.
As the NTSB board member on call, Hersman was brought in to lead agency efforts related to Monday's deadly Metro rail crash in Washington, D.C., and has drawn high marks for her performance.
President Obama tapped Hersman earlier this month to serve as the next chairwoman of NTSB. President George W. Bush first nominated the transportation safety expert and Capitol Hill veteran to the board in June 2004.
