Boarman's appointment was announced by Barack Obama at the end of 2010. A short time ago, the Maryland resident was serving as the President of the Printing, Publishing and Media Workers Sector of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the Senior Vice President of the CWA. Boarman's career with the printing industry began with an apprenticeship in Washington, D.C., at McArdle Printing. He moved up to Journeyman Printer in 1941 and took on the position of Printer with GPO in 1974. Boarman moved on to serve in a variety of positions within the International Typographical Union beginning in 1977. CWA and the International Typographical Union merged ten years later, in 1987.
Boarman's experience includes serving in the role of advisor to many Public Printers and testifying for the GPO before Congress on a number of occasions. He also functioned as chairman of CWA/ITU Negotiated Pension Plan, President of the International Allied Printing Trades Association, and President of the Union Printers Home. The Union Printers Home is a Colorado-based nursing facility with a 122-person capacity. Boarman was also the co-chair of the Council of Institutional Investors (CII) for three terms and the first public member of the Maryland Commission on Judicial Disabilities.
The GPO is the Federal Government's principal resource for collecting, cataloging, supplying, substantiating, and preserving published United States Government information. The GPO was created by Congress 150 years ago as a means of supplying information to Congress, Federal agencies and the public. The agency provides information to the public through its Federal Digital System and through the Federal Depository Library Program. Although a sum of its money comes directly from Congressional appropriations, the GPO operates much like a business and brings in a significant amount of revenue through its services to Federal agencies and the public.
