Federal Executive Boards

The Federal Executive Boards (FEBs) were established by Presidential Directive in 1961 as a forum for communication and collaboration among the field activities of Federal agencies outside of Washington, DC. Approximately 88 percent of all Federal employees work outside the National Capital Region and field representatives of departments and agencies serve as the principal contact with the Federal Government. The National network of 28 FEBs, located in areas with significant Federal populations, serves as the cornerstone for strategic partnering in Government. To find a FEB in your area, visit feb.gov/locations.asp.

Following are examples of the many ways FEBs celebrate PSRW in their regions by hosting award ceremonies, recognition events, and presentations.
