Biography | Bernadette Meehan — The Truman Building Where Sherman Swore Her In
kevin
People treat an ambassadorship as a title that appears the day the Senate votes.
The oath in this building came five weeks later.
President Joe Biden nominated Bernadette M. Meehan of New York as ambassador to Chile on 9 July 2021.
The Senate confirmed the nomination on 20 July 2022 by 51 votes to 44, Congress.gov record vote 264.
On 29 August 2022 Deputy Secretary of State Wendy R. Sherman officiated the swearing-in at the Department of State in Washington.
The State Department photograph by Freddie Everett is stamped that morning, 11:01, inside the Harry S. Truman Building at 2201 C Street NW.
Wikipedia places the building at 38.8944, minus 77.0484.
The ceremony is a public, dated federal act.
It is not a private office tour.
Meehan had entered the Foreign Service in March 2004 after J.P. Morgan and Lehman Brothers.
She had already served as a consular officer in Bogotá, in Baghdad, and in Dubai, then as National Security Council spokesperson from October 2014 to June 2015.
Those earlier posts belong on other pins.
This one is the oath that made the Chile title official before she presented credentials in Santiago.
Meehan is a living executive.
The Truman Building remains a working headquarters.
This memory marks a published swearing-in and a Senate roll call.
It does not mark a present workplace routine.
