Small Office; Big Mission

29m · The GovNavigators Show · 15 Apr 12:00

Ever heard of the Office of Performance and Personnel Management (OPPM) at OMB? You have? Gold star for you!

OPPM is an unheralded office, but one that has grown in size, scope, and importance. And we can think of few (except perhaps Robert Shea) who are better suited to lead it than Loren DeJonge Schulman. Listen in to hear about her role as Associate Director of OPPM, the important initiatives her office is leading across government, and whether Robert will apply for the open Deputy position working for Loren.
