the OPPORTUNITY
Alumni
Since its creation in 1977 (then called the Presidential Management Intern Program), the Presidential Management Fellows Program has brought over 10,000 individuals into Federal service. The PMF Program Office is currently increasing its efforts to build a more robust alumni network to highlight the valuable contributions of PMF Alumni across the Federal Government and to facilitate greater interaction among alumni, current Fellows, and Finalists. Alumni consists of former (1) Presidential Management Interns (PMIs) who completed their internships and converted to permanent positions, and (2) Presidential Management Fellows (PMFs) who have been certified for successful program completion by their agency’s Executive Resources Board (may or may not have been converted to a permanent position). Alumni who would like to stay up-to-date on important developments or become more actively engaged in supporting the Program may consult the resources below. Some of the resources below are sponsored by a third-party and are listed for information only.
The Presidential Management Alumni Association
The Presidential Management Alumni Association (PMAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to improve, expand, and promote the alumni community as well as the PMF Program. They are dedicated to supporting alumni excellence and achievement, advocating for the PMF program, and holding up public service as a noble and necessary profession.
