The ACEP subcommittee was formed to address organizational awareness and professional development for OD employees. Based on needs identified during the EVS, focus groups, and discussions with the OD Voice, ACEP was created to address the needs of junior level OD staff.

    ACEP provides Federal employees, at the GS-12 level and below, within the Office of the Director (OD) opportunities to:

    • Enhance skills that are relevant and applicable to their positions.
    • Develop a wide understanding of the OD, fostering awareness of the organization and their place within it.
