ALAMO FEDERAL EXECUTIVE BOARD

LEADERSHIP FEB

BACKGROUND: In 1993, the Alamo Federal Executive Board (AFEB) established “Leadership FEB (LFEB)”– a leadership program designed to identify and groom a cadre of federal leaders. Participants gain a deeper understanding of the promises and challenges facing our federal community.

Class members from numerous agencies come together one day each month in a neutral setting to examine the nature and inner workings of San Antonio and its relationship with the federal community. In the process, participants learn from key decision-makers in both the public and private sectors. The leadership group visits San Antonio’s top corporations, city and county offices, non- profits, and federal organizations.

LFEB seeks people who are dedicated to serving both their federal community and the community-at- large. Graduates have gone on to chair and/or serve on AFEB councils and committees, and have become board members for community organizations.

QUALIFICATION and SELECTION: Nominations are made by federal agency heads within the AFEB primary service area. Class size is limited to 45 participants representing the broadest cross- section of employees possible. There is no minimum grade/rank requirement; both military and civilian employees in current leadership roles (or leadership-ready) are eligible.

The LFEB Steering Committee will select class members based on a review of applications. If necessary, the committee will conduct personal interviews.

DEADLINE: Completed applications must be received at AFEB Office no later than August 14, 2014. TUITION FEE: $250.00 per person (Tuition fee payment is required prior to the Opening Retreat in October. Once accepted, please originate your agency’s training form. Government or personal credit card payments are accepted.)
