SUB.TDCI': Nominations for Women's Executive
Leadership Program
1. The attached memorandum from OPM requests our participation in a
government-wide "Warren's Executive Leadership Program" recently approved by
Constance fbrner, Director, (PM. This is a leadership program for Federally
employed women in grades GS-09-12 who have shown exceptional managerial
potential for development towards supervisory, managerial and executive
positions in the Federal workplace. There has been considerable interest in
the program from Agency warren who read about it in the Federal Times.
2. This program was originally launched as a pilot in August 19f34 and
successfully graduated 64 women in December 1985, one of whom was the CIA
candidate. The Agency plans to participate in this program again in 1997.
Although women have moved into the professional ranks in the Federal sector
over the past several years and are technically competent in their fields of
expertise, many have not yet been afforded sufficient visibility in
assignments and provided training and education that will make them
competitive for supervisory, managerial, and executive opportunities. The
program provides a unique opportunity for those selected to gain a very
braid overview of the management career field.
3. As outlined in the attached brochure, candidates for the program
must be in grades GS-09 through GS-12 and must be available for detail to
the program for approximately 12 months. Candidates must attend on a
completely overt basis and reside in the Washington metropolitan area.
