Introduction

The Honolulu-Pacific Federal Executive Board is proud to offer its annual Pacific Leadership Academy (PLA) Program in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Pacific Leadership Program began in 2003 and has graduated more than 1500 mid-to-senior level Fellows. This program is designed to meet the leadership development needs of selected federal professionals at the GS-13-15 and military equivalent levels (Senior Leader) and GS-11-12 and military equivalent levels (Emerging Leader) who work in federal government organizations in the Pacific Rim.

The foundation for the Academy’s leadership program is a series of managerial/leadership competencies, knowledge, skills and behavior that are critical for success. These competencies are based on research done by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management with modifications to fit the needs of federal agencies in the Pacific region.

Quotas to attend the Pacific Leadership are issued annually to interested federal agencies, which choose their candidates through a local competitive process. After quotas are assigned to agencies, and candidates are selected, the candidates then complete an application via their agency, register, and then their agency provides tuition payment directly to agency. Each Fellow must make the significant time and work commitment to attend all of the course sessions and to complete the required assessments, papers and projects.

Each year, the HPFEB allocates approximately 40 quotas to federal agencies for both the Emerging and Senior Leaders courses.  Agencies are required to rigorously screen candidates to help ensure they will complete the demanding class and course work.

The HPFEB is currently holding the FY-2023 class,  with graduation scheduled for July 28, 2022.
