Welcome!
About FCN:
At the request of Vice President Al Gore, the National Partnership for Reinventing Government
(NPR), formerly the National
Performance Review, organized theFederal Communicators Network (FCN)
in 1996 as a national organization for Federal communicators to help bring reinvention
information to front-line Federal workers and "create an environment for reinvention
to flourish." On May 14, 1998 Vice President Gore announced the creation of the
FCN Website. He said: "This website is an important step in our effort to create a
more responsive and productive government for American people in the coming century."
Membership Profile:
We are more than 600 members. Three quarters of
our members are from Federal agencies, offices, and military establishments in Washington
DC, across the country and around the world. The remainder are from the legislative and
judicial branches; interagency, international, nonprofit, and private groups; state and
local organizations, and Federal unions. Sixty percent of FCN members identify themselves
as writers and editors. Another 12 percent describe themselves as public affairs
specialists or managers. Also represented are a variety of talents that include
webmasters, artists and photographers, librarians, and representatives of personnel, and
quality offices. With this range of talent, expertise, and circulation, the FCN is a
powerful agent for communicating the message of better government.
How To Join: FCN is

less and delivers results Americans care about. FCN targets those most likely to spread
the word to other Federal employees such as employee newsletter editors, reinvention and
quality proponents, organizational development and training specialists, web managers and
librarians. There are no membership dues. Regular membership: Is open to all
Federal employees in the Federal government. Affiliate membership: Is open to
