Former political powerhouses join Partnership's board

The Partnership for Public Service has elected former Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag and other key figures to its board of directors.

The nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service recently added some real political clout to its board of directors.

The Partnership – a nonprofit whose mission is to revitalize the federal government – announced April 21 that it had elected the following four new board members: Adm. Thad Allen (Ret.), former commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard; Tom Davis, director of federal government affairs at Deloitte and a seven-term congressman from Virginia; Lloyd Howell, executive vice president of Booz Allen Hamilton; and Peter Orszag, vice chairman of global banking at Citigroup, Inc. and former director of the Office of Management and Budget.

The new members will all serve initial three-year terms on the board.
