The Federal Executive Boards (FEBs) were created in 1961 to foster communication, coordination and collaboration among Federal agencies outside of Washington, DC. They are under the jurisdiction of the Office of Personnel Management. Currently, approximately 88% of Federal employees are located outside the Washington, DC area. Across the nation, in 28 locations with a high concentration of Federal agencies and Federal employees, FEBs provide a forum for Federal leaders to connect to discuss management challenges and strategies. The FEBs enable collaboration on agency missions and goals, common issues, and special initiatives. FEBs are also a resource for agencies to share best practices among their peers.
On 10th November 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the Federal Executive Boards. Kennedy stated in the Memorandum, "I want coordination of government activities outside of Washington significantly strengthened".[1] The first 10 Federal Executive Boards (FEB) were established by Presidential Directive in 1961 to "increase the effectiveness and economy of Federal agencies." Currently, 28 FEBs are located nationwide in areas with a significant Federal population. The Boards are composed of local, senior-level Federal agency officials.
Functionsedit
The FEB's main goal is interagency collaboration. As the local Federal ambassador, the FEB identifies opportunities for partnerships with intergovernmental and community organizations.
The FEBs act as models for partnership-based government. The Boards serve as a link to intergovernmental coordination identifying common ground and building cooperative relationships. FEBs also have a long history of establishing and maintaining valuable communication links to prepare for and respond to local and national emergencies. While promoting issues related to Administration initiatives, they provide targeted training programs, employee development, shared resources, and local community outreach and participation. FEBs promote awareness of the Federal Government's involvement in, and contribution to, communities across the country. They serve as forums for the exchange of information between Washington D.C. and state agencies about programs, management strategies and challenges.
According to the Federal Executive Board's website, the mission of the FEB is to "increase the effectiveness of Federal Government by strengthening coordination of government activities",[3] and the vision of the FEB is "to be catalysts for better government."[3]
