SUBJ: OFFICER PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT ROADSHOW SOLICITATION
1. The Officer Personnel Management Division is now soliciting units
interested in receiving OPM’s Officer Career Development Presentation in
preparation for Promotion and Assignment Year 2020.
2. Beginning in April 2019 and going through June 2019, the Boards,
Promotions, and Separations Branch (opm-1), Assignments Branch (opm-2),
Officer Evaluations Branch (opm-3) and Career Management Branch (opm-4)
are available to deliver an Officer Career Development Presentation.
3. CDR Kristina Lewis is this season’s Roadshow Coordinator. Commands
desiring to fund an OPM presentation at their unit should submit an email
request to Kristina.L.Lewis@uscg.mil by 29 March 2019. Requests received
after this date will only be supported if there is availability. Requests
should include the following information:
A. Command point of contact.
B. Names of units expected to attend (consolidate unit requests).
C. Estimated number of participants.
D. Preferred and alternate dates for presentation.
E. Which OPM Branches or OPM Assignment Officer Specialties are desired.
4. As we plan our visits we will make an effort to maximize the number of
officers we reach in each community while considering geographic and unit
diversity. Priority will be given to geographic locations that have not
received a recent opm visit.
5. Our presentation will cover a vast array of topics such as officer
assignments, promotions, evaluations, and the officer specialty management
system. While we try to match the type of unit with the corresponding
requested divisions and Assignment Officers, this is not always possible,
due to limited personnel. The information we provide is meant to spark a
discussion between opm and the officer corps so officers are aware of the
most current trends and policies affecting their assignments, promotions,
and evaluations.
6. We encourage all interested commands to submit a request by 29 March
2019 to host our team. The discussions generated from our presentation
will benefit officers at every point in their career. Guidance on how to
maximize the value of an opm road show and the finalized opm road show
schedule will be posted on the opm-4 portal page at:
http://cglink.uscg.mil/4ce6cba1
7. For units unable to receive the Roadshow presentation, a webinar
version can also be coordinated.
