The Denver Federal Executive Board was one of the original ten Federal Executive Boards established by Presidential Directive in 1961. In January of 2010, the FEB expanded its geographic boundaries to include the entire State of Colorado and became the Colorado Federal Executive Board (CFEB). The CFEB is one of 28 FEBs that serve as the cornerstone for strategic partnering in government, and provide a forum for communication and collaboration among Federal agencies outside of Washington, DC. Since approximately 88 percent of all Federal employees work outside the National Capital Region, the need for effective communication and coordination among the field activities of Federal departments and agencies is crucial. Federal programs have their impact largely through the actions of the field representatives of the departments and agencies and Federal representatives are the principal contact with the Federal Government for the citizens of the United States. Vision: Creating partnerships for intergovernmental collaboration. Mission: Create value to the public by fostering communication, coordination and collaboration with Federal, State and local government agencies.
