The loss of Mr. Volcker and the generosity of Ms. Kilpatrick vitalized our work in 2019 and strengthened our commitment to our mission to advance effective management of government to achieve results that matter to citizens. Like Mr. Volcker and Ms. Kilpatrick, we envision a public sector workforce with the experience, preparation, and commitment to ensure that government is accountable and delivers with excellence. We will not let them down.
The jarring experience of the coronavirus pandemic and the international outrage over the horrific killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other Black Americans at the hands of police have made clear that the survival and security of people everywhere depend on government. The success of our response to this remarkable period in our nation’s history hinges in large part on the talent, preparedness, and dedication of our government workforce. As such, the mission of the Volcker Alliance has been thrust to the forefront.
We are proud and humbled to be a part of the Volcker Alliance at this critical time. We remain dedicated to Mr. Volcker’s vision and inspired by his legacy. Thank you for your continued support and interest in our organization.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Ross, President
We are better positioned now than we have been since our founding to make the changes Mr. Volcker cared about so profoundly. We are building the talent pipeline into government, catalyzing innovation in public service education, promoting truth and integrity in state budgeting, and honoring the legacy of Paul A. Volcker by inspiring the next generation of public servants. Click the boxes below to learn more.
