Become a Principal

Members of the Council (our Principals) are business, education and nonprofit leaders who have served in government and are united by a strong commitment to Council objectives. Principals' public/private experience and collective profile distinguish the Council as the only organization that can bring experience-based, cross sector responses to the challenges of sustained high performance in government. Principals may be invited to join our SAGE communities (Senior Advisors to Government Executives) and assist, advise and mentor public sector executive leaders in various communities, including Chief Financial Officers, Chief Information Officers and Chief Acquisition Officers.
