PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL REPORT FY 2008
The economic crisis, like no other story, validates the importance of the Partnership's mission to improve government performance and reminds us that, in times of national crisis, we turn to our federal government for solutions.
And, while the economy is highlighting the need for effective government, the 2008 election and subsequent transition are shining a spotlight on another core tenet of our mission: the need to attract a new generation into public service.
This annual report illustrates why our mission has never been more relevant and how our organization has never been better positioned to drive real change in government. It outlines everything we are doing to take advantage of these opportunities and to capture the energy surrounding government today.

Scholarships for Civil Service: The Roosevelt Scholars Act of 2009
The Partnership is pleased to announce that Senators George Voinovich (R-OH) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) have introduced the bipartisan Roosevelt Scholars Act of 2009. The legislation would create a “civilian ROTC” program by offering scholarships for study in mission-critical fields–engineering, medicine, information technology, foreign languages and law–in exchange for a federal service commitment.
The Roosevelt Scholars Act of 2009 was introduced in the House by Representatives by David Price (D-NC) and Mike Castle (R-DE) on July 31, 2009.

FEATURED PUBLICATIONS
Cyber IN-Security: Strengthening the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce
"Cyber IN-Security: Strengthening the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce" examined the state of the federal cybersecurity workforce by interviewing experts inside and outside of government, and examining public testimony, reports and documents. The overriding finding of the analysis is that our federal government will be unable to combat these threats without a more coordinated, sustained effort to increase cybersecurity expertise in the federal workforce.
Unrealized Vision: Reimagining the Senior Executive Service
The federal government’s Senior Executive Service (SES), as envisioned 30 years ago by government reformers, has fallen short of its promise and is inadequate to meet today’s challenges, according to a report by the Partnership for Public Service and Booz Allen Hamilton. The report examines the state of the 7,000-member elite corps of federal leaders and how government develops, recruits, hires, retains, pays and trains its top managers.
