PEO EIS hosts town hall for workforce

It was standing room only for the town hall event hosted by Program Executive Officer Chérie A. Smith on July 23, 2019 at the Wood Theater on Fort Belvoir, Virginia. During the two-hour event, Smith discussed the organization’s strategic priorities, new project leadership teams and proposed changes to the PEO mission areas. The mission area realignment is still pre-decisional, but would posture the PEO for future innovation and efficiency.

Covering a wide range of timely topics, Smith also gave a preview of the soon-to-be-completed new PEO EIS public website, which is expected to launch in October 2019. The site features responsive design and will improve user experience for stakeholders. Smith also outlined a number of upcoming events and the discussed the results of this year’s re-baselined Contribution-Based Compensation and Appraisal System (CCAS) process.

Smith then presented civilian service awards to several honorees and recognized others who were not in attendance. To conclude the event, Deputy PEO Brendan Burke joined Smith on stage to take questions from the audience. The event was live streamed for personnel in outlying areas and the full video is  available for staff members on SharePoint, along with the slide presentation and responses to additional audience member questions.
