Washington, DC - October
15, 2004 - Jim Frech has been
tapped to lead the National Academy of Public Administration's
intergovernmental activities, Academy President C. Morgan
Kinghorn has announced. Frech comes to the Academy from consulting
roles with the Government Performance Project and Stateline.org,
an online news service reporting on issues affecting state
governments.
"The public expects its governments-federal,
state and local-to work together to get the right things done
in the most effective ways," Kinghorn said. "The
Academy's job is to help them build their capacities to govern
within a cooperative framework. By applying the expertise
he has developed in a distinguished 25-year career, Jim Frech
will contribute enormously to the Academy's initiatives in
this critical arena."
Frech's work has focused on improving
intergovernmental programs through strategic planning, brand
strategy development, Internet and other information technologies
and change management. He directed the governance group at
The Finance Project where he led studies on how the power
of the Internet can be harnessed to improve health and human
service delivery. He also conducted research with the National
Governors Association on the role of governors and their offices
in improving state government management.
Frech held consulting positions with
Andersen Consulting, Unisys, The Lewin Group, and Sapient.
His government experience includes legislative and state project
roles in the office of U.S. Senator Patrick J. Leahy, work
within the Intergovernmental Affairs Division of the U.S.
Office of Management and Budget, and as a senior policy lead
in the Washington, DC office of the Illinois Commission on
Intergovernmental Cooperation. His work on governmental structures
received three Fulbright-Hays grant awards.
