WHF Goal 3:

The management of the fellowship program can be replicated by new staff in anticipation of a change in administration.

		Finish the project to describe and date all tasks involved with the recruitment, selection, placement, and education of the Fellows, as well as the administration of the program and management of the Commission.
		Continue to upgrade and streamline office processes and systems to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

		Program runs smoothly and meets deadlines. In FY 1998, upgraded the involvement of the President’s Commission in the program by involving Commissioners in substantive discussions of Administration policy with Administration officials as part of their mid-year meeting. This resulted in increased and improved relations between individual Commissioners and the fellowship program. In FY 1999-2000, create a presentation kit using power point software to allow alumni and friends to market the fellowship program independently and professionally. This initiative should reduce travel costs by reducing the need for program staff to attend out-of-town outreach events. In FY 1999-2000, streamline and reorganize the job descriptions of program staff to eliminate the need for a consultant and to prepare for potential staff changes.
		Fellows are selected and placed in FY 1999 and FY 2000 as efficiently and effectively as in FY 1998. In FY 1998, created and disseminated a White House Fellows Program Manual for use by departments and agencies who are assigned a White House Fellow. In FY 1999-2000, update and improve the Program Manual to keep Human Resources officers in agencies and departments that have White House Fellows informed about processes involved in managing the fellowships. In FY 1999-2000, implement a plan to bring the office into full Year 2000 compliance including the replacement of two personal computers and the upgrading of network software.
