This event qualifies for .7 CEUs

This event qualifies for 7 CPEs


What you need to know to comply with and position your agency to meet the intent and requirements of the executive order

Since the Government Reorganization Act expired in the mid-1980s, every President has asked Congress for authority to reorganize the Executive Branch of the federal government. This year, on March 13th, President Trump issued an Executive Order that foreshadowed an effort to reduce overlap and duplication among the government’s programs and agencies. President Trump’s recent Executive Order requires federal agencies to develop and submit to OMB within 180 days a plan to reorganize agency functions to improve the “efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability” of executive branch agencies. The Director of OMB will then submit to the President a comprehensive proposed plan to reorganize the entire executive branch.  Proposed reorganizations can include the elimination and/or consolidation of federal agencies and programs.  In addition, federal agencies need to:

 

  • Determine whether functions are most appropriate for the federal government, or if they could be done better or more appropriately performed by State or local government, or by the private sector.
  • Identify any program or administrative redundancies that could be eliminated or consolidated.
  • Provide an assessment of costs relative to the benefits.
  • Provide an estimate of costs to sunset or consolidate agencies/programs.
  • Further, the White House recently announced the creation of the Office of American Innovation (OAI), which will be responsible for making “recommendations to the President on policies and plans that improve Government operations and services, improve the quality of life for Americans now and in the future, and spur job creation.”

While OMB prepares additional guidance to help agencies respond to the Executive Order (EO), join us for a series of presentations and discussions that will provide important background for agencies to consider when complying with the EO. The agenda will include historical perspective of past attempts at reorganization, private sector practices to help meet the EO’s requirements, and panel discussions on related topics.
