About the Sponsors The Federal Communicators Network (FCN) is a voluntary organization made up of about 650 federal editors, press officers, webmasters, managers, and others who care about communicating the government's message. The National Performance Review, now the National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR), organized FCN as an outgrowth of concerns and interests raised by federal workers at the 1996 Reinvention Revolution conference. FCN is led by career civil servants across the federal government. Membership is free and also open to private sector communicators who have government employees as their audience. Visit http://www.fcn.gov/members/index.htm. The Seniors Fellows Program of the Council for Excellence in Government comprises the more than 1,000 graduates of the Excellence in Government Fellows Programs. Fellows are nominated by their agencies and selected by the Council to participate in this award-winning year-long leadership development experience for senior government managers.
