January 05, 2012
WASHINGTON (January 4, 2012) – The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) announces that David T. Romley has joined the organization as Vice President for Development and Partnerships.
A career Marine until his retirement from the Corps, Romley comes to GMF from the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, where he was Vice President for Development and Communications. Previously, he spent 21 years with the United States Marine Corps, most recently as Director of Community Relations at the Pentagon. He also served as a Pentagon spokesman from 2004-06 and as the senior Marine Corps spokesman in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
“David is a terrific addition to GMF,” said GMF President Craig Kennedy. “His proven leadership, his network, and his experience will be a tremendous asset to GMF as we continue to expand, develop new partnerships, and seek new activities in the transatlantic and global policy space.”
Romley served as a Military Affairs Fellow in the office of U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) from 1994-96, and followed that with public affairs postings in Okinawa, Japan, with the Marine Corps Bases Japan (1997-98) as a spokesman and press officer; in San Diego, California, with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (1999-2001) as the Director of Public Affairs; and in San Diego with the First Marine Expeditionary Force (2002-03) as the Director of Public Affairs.
Romley earned a Bronze Star for his service in Iraq, the Defense Superior Service Medal from the Secretary of Defense, and a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his service in Afghanistan. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Arizona and a master’s degree in communications from the University of Oklahoma.
The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) is a non-partisan American public policy and grantmaking institution dedicated to promoting better understanding and cooperation between North America and Europe on transatlantic and global issues.
GMF does this by supporting individuals and institutions working in the transatlantic sphere, by convening leaders and members of the policy and business communities, by contributing research and analysis on transatlantic topics, and by providing exchange opportunities to foster renewed commitment to the transatlantic relationship. In addition, GMF supports a number of initiatives to strengthen democracies.
Founded in 1972 through a gift from Germany as a permanent memorial to Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has six offices in Europe: Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Belgrade, Ankara, and Bucharest. GMF also has smaller representations in Bratislava, Turin, and Stockholm.
