Federal Communicators Network

The FCN Charter

The Federal Communicators Network, under the sponsorship of the National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR), formerly the National Performance Review, and in alignment with the NPR's stated mission and goals, is hereby established. NPR is committed to restoring the confidence of the American people by creating a government that works better and costs less.

The vision of the Federal Communicators Network is to transform the government by empowering Federal employees through information. Our vision supports the NPR's mandate, as directed by the Vice President of the United States, to spread the reinvention message and enable the federal government to move from existing "islands of excellence" to successfully reinventing entire agencies to better serve the American people.

The mission of the Federal Communicators Network is to facilitate effective communication among Federal organizations and people to create an environment in which workers are truly empowered, innovation is applauded, and government reinvention flourishes. Communication with front line Federal workers is an essential step in providing them the information and skills necessary to achieve a reinvented government, in support of the mission and goals of the NPR and the Vice President's mandate.

The Federal Communicators Network will link communicators from all federal agencies and organizations and will promote the continual improvement of government by providing for more effective sharing of information, resources, and educational opportunities. All Federal communicators, and other government employees committed to spreading the reinvention message, are eligible to become members of the Federal Communicators Network. In addition, the Federal Communicators Network will partner with such private sector and nongovernmental organizations as may contribute meaningfully to communicating the principles of effective government and empowering federal workers to provide the American people with government service equal to the best in business.

In witness of our commitment to these principles, we, the founding members of the Federal Communicators Network, have signed below on this day 30th of April, 1997, in the City of Washington, D.C.
