Congressional Management Foundation

Programs: Sponsored research - cmf conducted research in support of the management and operational guidance we offer to u. S. House and senate offices and the guidance we offer to citizens to help them better understand and engage with senators and representatives. The research conducted in 2014 resulted in a new edition of our signature publication setting course, a range of publications and services for newly-elected senators and representatives, and a primer for citizens on scheduling and conducting meetings with congressional members and staff.

partnership for a more perfect union- cmf's partnership for a more perfect union is dedicated to enriching the relationship between citizens and congress by comprehensively addressing the deteriorating relationship and communications challenges faced by both sides. The goal of the partnership is to further meaningful civic engagement through education, re-establishing trust, and providing innovative yet pragmatic tools to facilitate purposeful two-way communication. Cmf provides its partners who pay annual subscription fees with a number of benefits including in-person speeches, online trainings (webinars), roundtable presentations on effective advocacy and reusable content based on cmf's research.

training & advisory services - cmf provides professional development training and advisory services to u. S. House and senate staffers as part of our mission to foster congressional productivity and effectiveness. These services are provided, in part, under contract to the u. S. House of representatives' house learning center. Cmf also provides training and advisory services to citizens to help them better understand how congress really works and to promote more effective communication between citizens and their legislators.
