Q: What is unique about the FEB Mission that resonates with you?

A: Fostering interagency collaboration and connections with local communities resonates because the Federal Executive Boards are uniquely positioned to create and cultivate an environment that furthers our efforts in providing efficient services to the American people.

Q: What is one current priority/initiative your regional FEB(s) are working on that supports their member agencies?

A: The FEB southern region is working to promote the federal occupations to early careerists, which will create a pipeline of talent to support succession management. This initiative is important given the percentage of federal employees that are eligible for retirement.

Q: Why should agency leaders participate/engage with the FEB?
