Expanding Federal Leadership Training and Improving Regional Coordination
This Act formalizes and significantly expands the Presidential Management Fellows Program, aiming to attract outstanding graduates to public service to improve government management quality. The number of recruited managers is set to double between 2026 and 2031 compared to the baseline year, leading to more effective federal agencies. Furthermore, the law formalizes Federal Executive Boards, which will better coordinate federal agency activities in major cities, improving government administration in the field.
Key points
The US government will double the number of highly qualified federal managers recruited between 2026 and 2031 to strengthen agency leadership.
New leaders must undergo mandatory, intensive training (min. 80 hours annually) and long rotations (120-180 days) in various units to gain practical experience in management.
Formalizing Federal Executive Boards in 26 metropolitan areas is intended to improve coordination of federal agency activities locally, potentially enhancing shared services and resource utilization (e.g., emergency response, training).
