The Board, chaired by the Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget Jeffrey Zients, will advise both the president and the President’s Management Council, which includes the deputy secretaries from the major executive departments and agencies.
Solso, 64, has been chairman and CEO of Cummins since January 2000 and has been with the company since 1971.
In addition to his role at Cummins, Solso is active in a number of public policy organizations.
