The month of June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month (LGBT Pride Month). LGBT Pride Month is just one way that we can honor the struggles and achievements of the LGBT community, including the LGBT members of our Federal workforce. Please join me and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in celebrating LGBT Pride Month.

From May 2 until June 22, 2017, just over a million employees across the Federal government will have the chance to participate in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). Your response is valued.

OPM is partnering with American University’s School of Public Affairs to host the 2nd Annual Research Summit. This opportunity will connect academic researchers, Federal practitioners, and industry partners to share research, exchange ideas, and participate in critical conversations about ways to transform Human Capital Management Policy through research, innovation, and analytics.

Each May, the Federal Government recognizes Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month – an opportunity to honor those Americans who can trace their ancestry to a multitude of countries in Asia, Hawaii and the Pacific Island territories, and for us to celebrate those who contribute in so many ways to the success of our Nation.

Federal agencies in the Washington, DC area are OPEN.
