congressional operations

2020 tested all American institutions, and the Congressional Management Foundation was no different. Our journey through unprecedented times was guided by three words: Resourceful. Resilient. Committed. Learn more about our year of service in our 2020 annual report.

Washington, D.C. — The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) is excited to work with the Alliance for Congress, a new entity of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to building a more effective government. CMF will join them and other allies in a united, persistent push to strengthen Congress and make it a more productive, diverse body.

The Congressional Management Foundation heartily applauds the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch for developing legislation that increases Member’s Representational Allowances by 21%. This is a critical step toward renewing Congress’ capacity to fully perform its role in our representative democracy.

In advance of May as Mental Health Awareness Month, CMF and SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management, are continuing our workplace training programs with a series focused on improving “life in Congress” and the well-being of congressional staff. Coming up are sessions on Personal Safety & Preparedness (April 28) and Preventing Burnout: Using the Science of Stress & Energy Management to Reset and Recover (May 5). These webinars are open to ALL congressional staff AND interns.
