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.
