GSA official reprimanded for iniviting 1,200 employees to party during work hours

Nor was it the first such party for Hudson. She held a similar event last year to fete the first anniversary of her appointment.

Dozens, if not hundreds of employee work hours would have been spent at Hudson’s celebration. Alcantara says Hudson told GSA officials she would have paid out of her own pocket for the refreshments, estimated at $200, had her event taken place.

As national capital region administrator, Hudson is “responsible for the entire Washington metro area federal real estate inventory of 96 million square feet in more than 80 government-owned and leased facilities that house nearly 300,000 federal workers,” according to her GSA biography. She also oversees the “acquisition of office space, equipment, telecommunications and information technology.”
