Federal Executive Boards (FEBs) were established
to improve coordination among federal activities and programs outside of
Washington. Approximately 84 percent of all federal employees work outside the
national capital area. For job seekers the FEBs offer a wealth of information.
Primarily, most of them compile directories of all agency offices in their area
with contact information. Contact the FEB in your area to obtain a list of
ALL federal offices in your area. This valuable resource gives the job
seeker a total picture of potential employment options that are within commuting
distance to their present location.
There are currently 30 FEBs located in cities that are
major centers of federal activity. The boards are located in the following
metropolitan areas: Albuquerque, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Detroit, Honolulu, Houston,
Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Newark, New Orleans, New
York, Oklahoma City, Oregon, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Antonio,
San Francisco, Santa Fe, and Seattle. The Boards are composed of the federal
field office agency heads and military commanders in these cities.
In cities where FEBs do not exist, another organization of
local principal federal agency officials often exists. These organizations are
generally entitled Federal Executive Associations or Councils, and have purposes
and objectives similar to FEBs. They do not, however, function within the same
formal set of parameters (e.g., officially established by presidential
memorandum, policy direction and guidance from the Office of Personnel
Management, etc.) as do the FEBs.
Most of the FEBs have Internet Web sites. Use the
following list for networking purposes and to call or e-mail local offices for
listings of agencies in your area. The address and contact information is
provided for the three locations that do not have web sites at this time.
