Program Overview
The CXO (Chief Executive Officers) Fellows Program is a VIRTUAL professional development program that engages the next generation of federal leaders in acquisition/procurement, financial management/budget, human capital, information technology, and data. Throughout the year-long program, CXO Fellows have the opportunity to grow professionally and build a diverse network of rising leaders from across the Federal Government.
CXO Fellows remain in their current positions at their home agency and come together about three times a month (on Fridays) as a cohort for developmental sessions in leadership, cross-functional and interagency collaboration, and career development. In these sessions, CXO Fellows meet with leaders in the federal management community and gain valuable insight into innovative initiatives and best practices.
There is no cost to participate in the program. Download the CXO Fellows Digital Brochure to learn more. The CXO Fellows Program is celebrating its 10th anniversary and is committed to ensuring its continued success. In light of this milestone, we are introducing a gap year for FY25 (October 2024 - September 2025). Details are under How to Apply.
