Mission	The Volcker Alliance advances effective management of government to achieve results that matter to citizens. The nonpartisan Alliance works toward that objective by partnering with other organizations-academic, business, governmental, and public interest-to strengthen professional education for public service, conduct needed research on government performance, and improve the efficiency and accountability of governmental organization at the federal, state, and local levels.

Desc	Public Service Excellence Initiatives The Volcker Alliance is conducting a number of initiatives focused on building a highly capable corps of public servants and, simultaneously, relevant research. In 2017, the Volcker Alliance launched Renewing America's Civil Service, a joint initiative with the Partnership for Public Service, to identify tangible legislative and executive branch solutions to overhaul the outdated federal civil service system. Preparing Tomorrow's Public Service is an ongoing research-based initiative focused on spurring educational innovation to meet the challenges of complex governance in the future. The Volcker Alliance also released research papers on the size and composition of the federal government workforce and the current balance of consideration of faculty research, teaching, and service in tenure and promotion practices at schools of public affairs. In November 2017, the Alliance held a daylong symposium in Washington, DC in honor of the 90th birthday of our chairman and founder Paul A. Volcker and his legacy of public service, to discuss the critical governance challenges facing the United States. Financial Regulation Initiatives Building on the successful December 2016 release of the Volcker Alliance's report Unfinished Business: Banking in the Shadows, the Financial Regulation Initiatives team spent 2017 studying the changes being considered in federal financial regulation, particularly those related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act . As part of this work, the Volcker Alliance convened private roundtable discussions with leading academics and experts on the future of financial reform, presented the Volcker Alliance's analysis at conferences around the country, and met with policy makers and their staffs to share our analysis. State and Local Initiatives In November 2017, the Volcker Alliance released a report Truth and Integrity in State Budgeting: What is the Reality? examining and grading the budgeting and transparency practices of all fifty US states, in order to highlight states with the most effective procedures and those that fall short, while outlining best practices in each assessment category. The result of a multi-year study conducted in partnership with more than fifty professors and graduate students in public finance and budgeting at eleven US schools of public administration or policy, the study assesses the quality of states' budgeting practices, including public worker retirement funding and disclosure of budgetary and other critical fiscal data. The results and recommendations reported were presented and discussed in conferences and other settings.	Desc
