On the heels of word that Barack Obama plans to appoint John Berry as director of the Office of Personnel Management, a source has told the Washington Blade Obama also plans to name three more out staffers to White House positions.

Karine Jean-Pierre—White House Liaison, Depart of Labor

Dave Noble—White House Liaison, NASA

David Medina—Deputy Chief of Staff, Office of the First Lady

Victory Fund’s president and CEO, Chuck Wolfe, said, “The LGBT community’s talent pool is deep, and we’re glad President-elect Obama’s team recognizes that.  These three are accomplished people who will bring great experience to these important jobs.”

All three were applicants to and supported by the LGBT community’s Presidential Appointments Project, a collaboration of a dozen national LGBT groups.
