The Partnership for Public Service is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working to build a better government and a stronger democracy. The Public Service Leadership Institute is the preeminent source of public service leadership programs, policies and perspectives. Together, the expertise, networks and missions of the Senior Executives Association and the Partnership make them the ideal team to convene federal leaders.
