POPVOX Foundation launched a platform called “Departure Dialogues” to hear from former federal employees about the frustrations they’ve seen through their years of service, and take that knowledge to better implement policies and make government work better.

POPVOX Foundation Managing Director Anne Meeker appeared on The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton to discuss the launch of Departure Dialogues.

POPVOX Foundation, the Niskanen Center, Civil Service Strong, the Partnership for Public Service, and the Foundation for American Innovation invite departing federal employees to share your insights to help inform future Congressional action to strengthen federal programs.

Using oral history technology and AI analysis, Departure Dialogues captures departing civil servants’ experiences and turns them into actionable intelligence for lawmakers, oversight bodies, and reformers. In partnership with several civic organizations, Departure Dialogues aims to close the feedback loop between those who implement federal programs and those who make the laws that shape them.
