President Barack Obama named Cleveland native Capricia Penavic Marshall last week as chief of
protocol at the White House. The post has an ambassador rank.
Marshall made her name in the Clinton administration after graduating from Case Western Reserve University law school, and then worked for the Senate and presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton. The State Department Web site describes the post this way: "Whether rolling out the red carpet for a king visiting the president at the White House, hosting a prime minister at the president's guesthouse, traveling overseas with the president, credentialing a new foreign ambassador, or planning events for the secretary of state, the duties of the Office of the Chief of Protocol are many and varied."
