OPEFM Led by Allen Y. Lew
OPEFM is led by Executive Director Allen Y. Lew. Mr. Lew was recruited by Mayor Fenty to oversee the massive effort to transform the design, construction and maintenance of District of Columbia public schools.
From 2004 until 2007, Mr. Lew was Chief Executive Officer of the DC Sports and Entertainment Commission where he oversaw the renovation of historic RFK Stadium and the construction of the new $611 million Washington Nationals Baseball Stadium-which will be the first LEED certified professional sports facility when it opens next April.
