Greg Hlibok
New Chief of the FCC’s Disability Rights Office
On November 16, 2010, Gregory Hlibok was named Chief of the Federal Communications Commission’s Disability Rights Office in the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau. He had been working as an attorney in that office, and attained his new post “through a competitive application process.”

He will be the first head of the DO who has a disability. Under his direction, the office will work to ensure that people with disabilities can share fully in the economic and social benefits of emerging 21st-century technologies.”
