The Center for Presidential Transition (the Center) is seeking temporary
pro bono advice in our efforts to develop a comprehensive system for
gathering presidential transition records and making them easily accessible
to the next Administration, future presidential transition teams, federal
civilian employees, political scientists, other researchers and scholars,
and the general public. Our goal is to create a ‘presidential library’ for
presidential transitions.


The Center is the only organization that works with presidential candidates
and their transition teams, the incumbent administration, and career civil
servants to navigate the transition process and ensure that the next
President is ready to govern on day one in office. The Center serves as a
growing repository for documentation from presidential transitions,
including tools and templates for transition participants, data sets,
presentations, reports, blog posts, interactive and multi-media, news
stories and links to resources developed by other organizations. It offers
guidance on how to set up and execute a transition, works with the outgoing
administration to encourage a smooth transfer of power, shares management
recommendations for the new administration to address the government’s
talent and operational challenges, engages Congress to promote presidential
transition reforms and prepares new political appointees to lead
effectively. The Center is a dedicated initiative of the Partnership for
Public Service (the Partnership), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization in
Washington, DC that works to revitalize the federal government to
strengthen the civil service, improve the management and leadership
capacity of government executives, and inspire a new generation to serve.

The Center is producing content for the 2016-2017 transition process,
collecting material in the possession of former presidential transition
team members, and anticipating the receipt of hundreds of documents and
materials produced by the 2016 presidential transition teams and others
involved in the transition process. The Center is seeking to create a
consistent approach to the collection, storage and retrieval of material
and documents from previous, current and future presidential transition
teams, and to make those materials searchable and accessible. The Center’s
Publication and Resource library currently has over 400 items on the
digital platform available to the public, along with many other items that
have not been published. The collection is expected to grow exponentially
after the 2016-2017 transition. The Center also seeks an appropriate way to
make federal agency records related to transition available through the
Center’s platform where those records are already publicly available.



The Center seeks the assistance of a records and information management
practitioner, preferably with experience in a federal agency, who has the
capacity to provide pro bono services on the development of this project.
Those services would be organized in two phases: the initial process of
assisting the Center in understanding and addressing the full range of
issues involved in managing the records and information in the Center’s
possession (both currently and in the future), and an implementation phase.
The project includes, but is not limited to: development of appropriate
policies and procedures, assessment of the need for specialized software,
and other principles and practices needed to create, organize and maintain
a valuable repository that will effectively serve those interested in one
of our country’s most hallowed traditions – the peaceful transfer of power.



If interested, please contact Dan Hyman at [log in to unmask] to
further discuss this project. The Partnership offers a limited number of
rotational assignments to career civil servants through the
Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Mobility Program, which may be an
option for current federal employees.
