Fannie Mae's Vice Chair Jamie Gorelick said she will step down from her position at the company on July 1 in order to devote more time to the bipartisan national commission investigating the attacks of September 11, 2001, and to pursue other interests.
The company also reported that its Chief Financial Officer Timothy Howard will succeed Gorelick as vice chair, and will be nominated to be elected to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting in May.

From May 1993 until she joined the Justice Department, Gorelick served as General Counsel of the Department of Defense, and from 1979 to 1980, she was Assistant to the Secretary and Counselor to the Deputy Secretary of Energy.
Gorelick also currently serves on a number of corporate and non-profit boards.
In his new role as vice chair, Howard will have responsibility for Fannie Mae's mortgage portfolio business, corporate risk management and corporate financial management.
