The Federal Executive Boards (FEBs)

The Federal Executive Boards (FEBs) are the cornerstone of federal presence across the United States. Currently organized into 26 boards, across four regions, with plans for expansion, they form a bridge between Washington D.C. and local communities.

History

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]

Modernazation and Transformation

In 2023, both the President's Management Agenda and FY 23 Budget initiated a transformation aiming to solidify FEBs as a vital resource for senior leaders and communities across the nation. Now under the full oversight of OPM, the FEB Forward initiative introduces a centralized funding model and governance structure to bolster the role of the FEBs as a key resource for federal agencies beyond the National Capital Region.

The Center for FEBs

Housed within the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Center for FEBs provides national, regional, and field leadership for the Federal Executive Boards (FEBs). It ensures seamless coordination across all boards distributed across the Eastern, Central, Southern, and Western regions of the United States.
