For over 30 years the Federal
Executive Institute (FEI) has served as the Federal Government's
development center for senior executives. FEI brings SES members
and high-performance GS-15s together for courses that help executives
develop broad corporate viewpoints, understand their constitutional
roles, and enhance essential skills.
FEI's courses help participants and work teams build a healthier
working culture by exchanging ideas on improving individual program
performance. FEI courses bring executives together for a single
program. They work individually, in teams, and as a group with
FEI faculty. The FEI faculty comprises a wide range of professionals
from academia and private consulting and training organizations,
along with Executives in Residence-senior government leaders on
special assignment at the Institute. The interaction of participants
and faculty creates a rich, stimulating, and diverse learning
community at FEI. This setting affords the opportunity to explore
personal and professional issues in a nonjudgmental environment.
FEI's Leadership for a Democratic
Society (LDS) courses help participants build a healthier
working culture by exchanging ideas on improving program performance
and addressing areas of interagency cooperation and conflict with
colleagues from other departments.
FEI's Center for Executive Leadership (CEL)
provides courses directed toward executive competencies development,
with a special emphasis on team building and organizational growth,
and generates ongoing opportunities for lifelong learning.
FEI's facility and its setting also contribute to the learning
environment. Located approximately two hours southwest of Washington,
D.C., FEI is removed from the constant interruptions of daily
work. The fourteen-acre campus is in the heart of the bustling
university community of Charlottesville, Virginia, but is secluded
by woods and terrain. In addition to the University of Virginia,
the homes of three of the nation's first six presidents are nearby.
FEI program participants often visit Thomas Jefferson's Monticello,
James Madison's Montpelier, and James Monroe's Ashlawn-Highland
as part of the program or on their own.
The campus is a self-contained center for living and learning.
Participants stay in comfortable private guest rooms and eat well-prepared,
health-conscious meals. Courses are presented in comfortable on-site
classrooms. When not in class, executives exercise in the Alumni
Fitness Center, play volleyball and basketball. FEI has an active Wellness Program that continues after graduation through the wellness portion of this Web site. Executives may also spend time in our Susan
B. Anthony Library. Quiet spaces for walking, relaxation, and
conversation round out the facility. All facilities are accessible
to persons with disabilities.
