Overview

Agency Leadership Councils (ALCs) provide an Agency-wide platform for leadership, oversight, and coordination in instances where the resources and decision-making authority for a technical focus area are dispersed across multiple Washington Operating Units (i.e., Pillar or Regional Bureaus). ALCs create a formal coordination structure to enable executive, cross-Bureau/Independent Office (B/IO) guidance and strategic leadership in technical focus areas and the resources allocated to provide recommendations on budget allocations to the Office of Budget and Resource Management. The Administrator (A/AID) has the authority to establish or dissolve ALCs with input from the Deputy Administrator (DA) and/or Associate Administrators.
