Recently, the Partnership for Public Service in collaboration with the Federation of American Scientists and Niskanen Center hosted a special event for the release of "Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better." This new book is written by Jennifer Pahlka, founder of Code for America and the former Deputy Chief Technology Officer of the U.S.
In a discussion moderated by Dan Tangherlini, managing director at Emerson Collective, Jennifer reflected on why we must stop trying to move the government we have today onto new technology and instead consider what it would mean to truly recode American government.

Check out People's Choice Finalist, and Department of Homeland Security Senior Advisor, Michael Camal, on Federal News Network's podcast "Federal News Dive" with Tom Temin.
Michael discusses how his work has helped train aviation personnel to identify potential victims of human trafficking.
"We secured a significant number of partnerships, 125 partnerships over the past several years. Just last year alone, we trained over 214,000 staff. And basically what we’re teaching them is the basics about what human trafficking is, what those indicators are, and how to safely report it to federal law enforcement." - Michael Camal.
Listen to the full podcast:
Not all human trafficking takes place in trucks and boats. Sometimes perpetrators fly their victims around.
Last week, we celebrated the first anniversary of our Public Service Leadership Institute, the preeminent source of public service leadership programs, policies and perspectives.
Since the launch of the institute:
🔹 We analyzed the data of thousands of public service leaders who took our Public Service Leadership 360 assessment tool. This analysis resulted in a four-part series, “LeadHERship in the Federal Government,” that reinforces the importance of understanding women’s experiences in federal leadership roles, and the barriers and challenges they face.
🔹 We developed nearly 6,000 leaders, including almost 1,500 senior executives.
🔹 We spoke to thousands over the past year on the unifying power of public service leadership, including at conferences hosted by GovExec, Deloitte and Executive Women in Government, and at the Changemakers Conference, which we co-hosted with the Senior Executive Association.
