Civic Tech in the Service of the American People

Mar 12, 2019

3:30pm – 4:30pm CT

America’s Federal modernization plan includes a long-term transformational goal of delivering the American people a customer experience that compares to—or exceeds—that of leading private sector organizations. The Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIF) program is a transformative player in this modernization effort. PIFs sit within the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Technology Transformation Services (TTS), which has a mission to improve the public’s experience with the government by helping agencies build, buy and share technology that allows them to better serve the American public. Fellows help agencies modernize citizen facing services by making them more accessible, efficient, and effective with modern applications, platforms, processes, personnel, and software solutions. Join TTS Commissioner Anil Cheriyan, PIF Deputy Director Davar Ardalan (moderator) and PIF Fellows Clara Tsao, and Stephen Winchell for an interactive and lively conversation on Federal technology-driven transformation and civic innovation.
