Nominations are now being accepted for the second class of the CXO Fellows Program, whose goal “is to invest in outstanding federal employees (GS 11-14) by broadening their knowledge of government management disciplines and foster cross-government relationships through interactive discussions and collaboration,” said an announcement by the CFO Council.
“This program allows fellows to grow professionally and develop relationships throughout the government in different management areas. The fellows will come from across the financial management, IT, and acquisition disciplines. Fellows will participate in education, training, and events together to learn about collaboration and issues impacting government management processes and systems,” it said.
It said that during the year-long program, fellows meet with leaders in the federal financial, acquisition, and IT communities, and learn about innovative government operations through seminars sponsored by the National Defense University and other events.
Selected fellows will remain in their current position at their home agency. Fellows are invited to participate in two to three program events each month as well as five full instructional days at NDU throughout the year. The total time commitment is estimated at 10-15 hours per month.
There is no cost to the program, but because of space limitations, only one nomination is allowed by CFO Act agency, due by August 31 for a start date in October. A nomination form is on cfo.gov.
