congressional operations

The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) released its Job Description for a Member of Congress, the newest publication in a suite of resources designed to ensure a smooth transition to Congress for new Members and their staff.

The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) applauded the U.S. House of Representatives for adopting a resolution Friday to create a "Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress." The new 12-member committee will research ways to develop "a more modern and efficient Congress," focusing on everything from improving staff recruitment and compensation to updating technology and fostering innovation.

The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) today launched a new award for Congress – the Democracy Awards. The annual awards will recognize non-legislative achievement and performance in congressional offices. The Democracy Awards will go to one Republican and one Democrat in four categories: Innovation; Transparency and Accountability; Constituent Service; and a "Life in Congress" award for workplace environment. A fifth award will be given to one Member of Congress and one congressional staffer for Lifetime Achievement.
