  Patricia “Patty” S. Collins is the first woman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) in the agency’s 162-year history and was as such appointed as its 27th Director effective March 2024. The BEP develops and produces U.S. currency, trusted worldwide. The BEP develops overt and covert security features for U.S. currency deterring counterfeit currency production and circulation.

  Following a 24-year-career in the U.S. Army, during which she deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans and spent seven years within the Joint Special Operations Command as one of a small number of women to serve, she retired from active duty as a Colonel in 2015.

  After working for a few years at the McChrystal Group as a Principal Consultant where she focused on leadership development and guiding clients through complex challenges in the public and private business sectors, she joined the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) in May 2020. She served as Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer leading GPO’s operations, including business units responsible for its most important products, such as the U.S. passport, Congressional Record, Federal Register, White House print materials and secure federal credentials.
