Welcome to the Federal Executive Association of the Greater Charleston, SC Area

Approximately 84 percent of all Federal employees work outside the national capital area functioning as the principal coordination between our Federal Government and the citizens of this country. The Greater Charleston Federal Executive Association (FEA) is an organization participating in the Federal Executive Board (FEB) program established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy to support this coordination. There are currently 28 FEBs under the direction of the Office of Personnel Management located in cities that are major centers of Federal activity such as Atlanta, Chicago, etc. In cities such as Charleston where FEBs do not exist, Federal Executive Associations or Councils serve with similar purposes and objectives, but without the same full-time appointed staffs.

The Greater Charleston Federal Executive Association provides oversight to the Combined Federal Campaign, sponsors the Federal Employee of the Year competition each year, and coordinates other matters of mutual interest to the Federal organizations in the area.

Meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of each month except there is no meeting in December. Next meeting is 11:30 a.m., Thursday, 8 July 2009.
