President Biden signed three important executive orders to advance equity in the United States during his first year in office, the Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (Jan. 20, 2021), the Executive Order on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce (June 25, 2021) and the Executive Order on Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government (Dec. 13, 2021). For this week’s seminar, Pam Coleman, the Associate Director for Performance and Personnel Management at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) who was described as the “Czar for Federal Workforce and Agency Performance Issues” by the Government Executive, joins Professor Bohnet in a discussion about the relevance of these executive orders and their implementation across agencies. She will discuss the role of the OMB, the importance of evidence informing both the diagnosis and the treatment of DEIA issues, as well as questions of motivation, buy-in, and the government’s special responsibility in public service delivery.
