Federal Executive Boards (FEBs) are interagency organizations in major U.S. cities that promote cooperation among federal officials to streamline government operations and respond to local needs.
Mission
The mission of the FEBs is to foster effective interagency collaboration in major metropolitan areas, increasing the efficiency of federal government functions, improving emergency preparedness, and enhancing community relations. They aim to ensure that federal initiatives are responsive to both local and national priorities.
Parent organization
FEBs operate under the oversight of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Legislation
FEBs were established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 through a Presidential Directive to improve coordination among federal agencies outside of Washington, D.C.

Number of employees
The number of employees varies as FEBs are composed of representatives from multiple federal agencies without a fixed staff size.
