Career

Shalanda started working in 2001 by joining the National Institutes of Health in DC. She moved on to work for the US House Committee on Appropriations and by 2017 became the Staff Director. Her involvement in managing the 2018-19 federal government shutdown and the Covid-19 response showcased her skills.

Handling $1.3 trillion in annual appropriation bills and disaster aid during COVID-19 was part of her role. After 14 years on the committee, she left for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as Deputy Director. Initially acting as Deputy Director and Acting Director, Shalanda stepped up after Neera Tanden faced challenges with her nomination for the Director’s role.

Given her extensive experience, the US Senate found Shalanda an obvious choice for the Director position at OMB, making her the first black woman to hold this prestigious role. She assumed this role in March 2022 after the Senate confirmed her victory with 61-36 votes in favor.
