[PMAGList] PMAG Forward: Presidential Management Fellows Rollout Event, Call for quotes and bios

[Tod T. Companion, Ph.D.]

Dear PMI Alumni:

My name is Lynn Matherly and a PMI alumnus from the Class of 2000.  I am 
contacting you because exciting changes are ahead for the PMI program and 
the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) would like to request your 
assistance.

OPM has forwarded a new Executive Order to the President for signature 
which proposes significant changes to the Presidential Management Intern 
(PMI) Program.  If the President signs the new Executive Order, the PMI 
Program will be revitalized as the new Presidential Management Fellows 
(PMF) Program.  Coincident with the name change will be several proposed 
revisions to the program's regulations.  These changes are designed to 
enhance the program's prestige and its ability to attract top new talent to 
address the Federal Government's pending human capital challenges.  In 
doing so, the new PMF Program will become a cornerstone of the government's 
succession planning efforts, thereby helping to ensure continuity of 
effective leadership into the future.

To formally announce these changes and to celebrate the PMIs, past and 
present, themselves, a rollout event is being planned by the PMI program 
office. At this event, the current classes of PMIs will be sworn in as 
Presidential Management Fellows.  The theme is Presidential Management 
Fellowship: Answering the Call to Leadership.

We are asking PMI alumni who are still with the Federal Service to provide 
us with a current bio, press release quality photo or digital picture, PMI 
class year, and a narrative about a special accomplishment from your career 
that stands out to you.  The photo and your bio will be part of a PMI 
profiles montage.  Some of the speakers at the event may specifically cite 
the accomplishments of former PMIs in their speeches.

The PMI profiles montage will be shown as a loop while guests are being 
seated.  The goal of the montage is to profile PMIs from as many classes as 
possible and celebrate their accomplishments and commitment to Government 
Service.

We would appreciate your participation and assistance with this 
endeavor.  We ask that you let us know if you are willing to participate as 
soon as possible.  If you will participate, please forward your information 
to us in electronic format to the below listed email address by October 
1.  If you do not have a current photo, we hope some agencies have a 
digital camera that can be used to assist us with this effort.  If you are 
unable to send us the information in an electronic format we request that 
you forward the information via regular mail to my attention at the 
following address:

If you know of other former PMIs still serving, we ask that you please 
forward us any contact information you may have on them.  We are trying to 
get a large representation from many different classes and agencies.  This 
is very much a networking exercise and we are working with a very short 
timeline, we need any and all help you can give us.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  My phone 
number is (214) 767-2006 and my e-mail address is mlmather at opm.gov.  If for 
some reason you are unable to reach me, please contact Sean Lenard in our

We thank you very much for your assistance in this project and look forward 
to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
