President's Commission on White House Fellowships
Outreach Coordinator
GS-301-9
The incumbent supports the Director on all aspects of the White House Fellows outreach,
recruitment, and public relations efforts. The incumbent assists in the design and implementation
of a targeted strategy for outreach and public relations. The incumbent also is expected to
function as a team member with other staff to carry out, as necessary, the other functions of the
Commission office including selection, placement, and management of each fellowship class.
In this capacity, the incumbent serves in a confidential role and is involved in issues of direct
concern to the Director. In order to serve the Director effectively, a close and confidential
relationship must exist. The incumbent is expected to reflect his/her supervisor's philosophies in
communications with leading figures of the government, business and other groups.
MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Outreach and Recruitment
Review and assess results of past outreach efforts.
Review and make recommendations on all current marketing materials such as brochures, videos,
power point presentation, and web site. Make recommendations on new marketing materials.
Draft all marketing materials.
In consultation with the Director and other sources, identify all outreach resources available to
the program.
Compile the target lists and contact information for all appropriate constituencies.
In consultation with the Director, develop and implement a strategic marketing plan to publicize
the fellowship opportunity to appropriate constituencies. The plan must identify all of the key
constituencies along with the tools and methods of communicating to those constituencies.
Work with outside marketing consultants, as necessary.
Assist the Director with speaking engagements with various organizations across the nation to
recruit applicants.
Work with the Associate Director to coordinate the publication of the quarterly newsletter,
including writing, editing, and assigning articles.
Develop and oversee a budget for the outreach effort.
Coordinate outreach strategy with the timing of the fellowship's selection process so that the
program receives maximum exposure during the four months prior to the February 1 application
deadline.
Publicity
In consultation with the Director, develop and implement a public relations plan aimed at raising
the national stature of the program. Work with outside public relations consultants, as necessary.
In consultation with the Director, develop and disseminate, both nationally and locally, press
releases announcing selection of finalists and Fellows and other activities that raise the national
awareness of the program.
Identify opportunities for national and local media. Assist in the implementation of such
opportunities.

Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
Ability to analyze and evaluate data from numerous sources for presentation and consideration by
the Director in making policy and program decisions.
Knowledge of marketing and public relations techniques, tools and resources.
Knowledge of media relations and media training techniques.
Factor 2: Supervisory Controls
Incumbent reports to the Director. In the Director's absence, the incumbent reports to the
Associate Director. The Director provides assignments in terms of overall objectives and
priorities. The incumbent independently plans and carries out assignments, keeping, as
appropriate, the Director informed of the progress. Consults with the Director on matters
concerning potentially controversial issues. Incumbent is evaluated based on effectiveness in
meeting requirements, expected results, and success in meeting program goals.
2
Factor 3: Guidelines
Guidelines are limited to organization and administrative procedures, as well as governing
regulations. Incumbent must use judgment, as duties relate to issues where guidelines are
broadly stated and precedent sometimes is lacking. Incumbent must exercise initiative in the
application of policies and in the development of program recommendations.
Factor 4: Complexity
Issues and programs entrusted to the incumbent are reasonably defined but require the use of tact,
sound judgment, and program and administrative skills. Communication with Fellows,
Commissioners and prominent officials in government and outside requires a firm understanding
of the Director's policies and viewpoints, and such policies must clearly be reflected in oral and
written communications.
Factor 5: Scope and Effect
The incumbent's responsibilities encompass a wide range of activities. Incumbent must ensure
effective representation of the Director's positions on issues, and is often responsible for relaying
instructions on sensitive matters to key officials. Incumbent must also attain a high level of trust
and confidence from the Director in order to fully carry out duties and responsibilities.
Factor 6: Personal Contacts
Contacts are with Commission staff, White House Fellows, Commissioners, Alumni,
Administration officials, Members of Congress, military leaders, industry leaders, media
representatives, and members of the public.
Factor 7: Purpose of Contacts
Incumbent often represents the Director on sensitive issues and programs. Serves as the
Director's liaison to different constituencies. Incumbent is required to brief the Director on
events or projects and always is expected to represent the Director's point of view on all aspects
of the program.
Factor 8: Physical Demands
Work is usually sedentary although significant travel by various forms of transportation is
required. Incumbent should be prepared to engage in all activities expected of the Fellows.
Factor 9: Work Environment
Work is primarily performed in an office setting.
