About the Contest

Calling all PMFers! What does it mean to be presidential? Tell the Presidential Management Fellows Program in 60 seconds or less what defines "presidential." Leadership? Public Service? Compassion? You tell us what it takes. The winner, and possibly runner-ups, will lunch with the Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management John Berry.
