ALCGOFF 013/24
SUBJ: OFFICER PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT OUTREACH SESSIONS
1. Officer Personnel Management (OPM) is announcing virtual Q&A sessions
and wardroom engagement opportunities to answer questions and spark
conversation on a variety of career management topics. The Career Management
Branch (OPM-4) will host hour-long sessions with a primary emphasis on
facilitating questions from the fleet to ensure officers have ample time to
engage directly with their Assignment Officers (OPM-2), representatives from
the Boards, Promotions, and Separations Branch (OPM-1), and the Officer Evaluations Branch (OPM-3).
2. Virtual Q&A Sessions will start with a brief synopsis of relevant topics,
updates to policies, trends and best practices and then move to a Q&A. Questions
can be submitted ahead of the event by emailing OPM-4 at HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil
or can be posed during the session. The OPM-2 sessions will afford those
transferring in AY25 the opportunity to interact with their Assignment Officers.

4. OPM recommends officers within a command attend virtual roadshows from
consolidated locations to the extent possible. This should generate robust
wardroom conversation and maximize opportunities for professional development.
5. Wardrooms are encouraged to meet prior to the scheduled session to review
information provided on the relevant OPM SharePoint page. This information will
help to generate a discussion between OPM and the officer corps and educate the
fleet on the current trends and policies affecting their assignments, promotions,
and evaluations.
6. Roadshow Access: All event links for scheduled sessions will be posted on the
Career Management Branch (OPM-4) SharePoint page to ensure widest dissemination:
https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-opm/opm-4/SitePages/OPM-4.aspx
We encourage members to set personal calendar reminders for the events they intend
to join. Please note that the links posted take you directly to the Teams event.
If you are unable to access the SharePoint page, please contact OPM-4 at HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil
with the specific Q&A session name/date you are interested in as the subject line.
7. The information presented during the 2024 roadshows will be made available on
SharePoint. Recording titles will match the session titles and can be accessed easily
on OPM-4’s SharePoint site:https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-opm/opm-4/SitePages/OPM-4.aspx
8. Requesting a Unit Virtual Roadshow: In addition to the above virtual Q&A sessions,
OPM is offering the opportunity for wardrooms to request tailored virtual sessions
with unit-selected topics and presenters. These sessions will require Teams and a unit
representative to work with OPM to set up the event for your wardroom.
9. To request a tailored virtual wardroom session for your unit (or for a collection of wardrooms),
please email the OPM-4 inbox at HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil. The request should include
the following: Subject: Virtual Session Request. Email Body: Unit(s)/Date requested/Requested topic,
for example: “Virtual Session Request/12Apr24/Promotion Boards". Common topics include:
officer specialty progression, requests for a community specific briefs, promotion boards,
eResumes, career management, advanced education panels, OERs, and temporary separation.
Units are welcome to request multiple topics.
10. While these roadshows are virtual to ensure widest dissemination, we are available
for in-person opportunities as well. If your unit is interested in funding members from
OPM to travel for an in-person presentation, please email the OPM-4 inbox at HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil
