The Obama Administration wanted to improve federal government effectiveness in community-based work to provide impoverished communities across America a better chance to realize the transformations they have been working toward.
Star Cypress along with the Partnership for Public Service and the Obama Administration’s Community Solutions Team collaborated with more than 20 federal agencies to create a new training program for federal employees who work directly with local governments, nonprofits and businesses. Star Cypress designed and delivered in-person and virtual training for federal employees participating in the following programs: Excellence in Government, Foundations in Public Service Leadership, Advancing Human Resources Leaders, and the Mission Support Leadership Program. Star Cypress has also provided executive coaching to approximately 100 leaders participating in these programs.
The CDC wanted to provide a retreat to help CDC’s new and long-standing federal executives have an opportunity to focus, reset, and collaborate.
Star Cypress Partners facilitated 12 workshops for strengthening the leadership capabilities of CDC Division Directors, with a specific focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), addressing the CDC’s systems and structures to improve DEIA, including recruiting and hiring practice and improving employee engagement throughout CDC. Star Cypress also provided 3 sessions with the advanced CIOs and two standard programs with beginner‐level CIOs.
