Owning Your Experience

Graduation

Each year the PMF Program Office conducts a graduation ceremony for Fellows who have been certified as successfully completing the PMF Program by their agency's Executive Resources Board (ERB), or equivalent. This event provides you an opportunity to celebrate the success of completing the two-year program and the continuation of a career in the Federal Government. It is an excellent chance to reconnect with Fellows you met along the way, to celebrate accomplishments, and to inspire future civil service.

Graduation is typically held in Washington, DC in the Spring. Attendance at the ceremony is encouraged, but is not mandatory.

To attend the graduation, each Fellow must meet the following criteria:

  • Complete all requirements of the PMF Program
  • Be certified by the appointing agency's Executive Resources Board (ERB), or equivalent. This information must be entered by the Agency PMF Coordinator into the Agency System for Automated Processing (ASAP), found under the "Agencies/Resources" section on the PMF website.
  • Reimbursement appointment fee paid to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management by the appointing agency (the graduating Fellow's Agency PMF Coordinator can verify this).

Cost:

The PMF Graduation Ceremony is free to all Fellows and guests. However, if travel is required, Fellows should contact their Agency PMF Coordinator and Supervisor to arrange travel and per diem to the event.

Guests:

Family, friends and colleagues, as well as former Fellows, Agency PMF Coordinators and Supervisors, are invited to attend the graduation ceremony. However, as space permits, priority will be given to Fellows.

Requests for PMF Class of 2009 Certificates: 

PMF Class of 2009 completion certificates will be provided only to those Fellows who request a certificate before the one year anniversary of the graduation ceremony. Certificates will be available after the ceremony. The process to request a certificate will be provided when the details of the graduate are announced.

Details for the PMF Class of 2009 Graduation will be posted here in the coming months.
