1.9: Leadership and Governance

Govern open government by a dedicated leadership and governance structure.

Other Information:

Open government at HUD is governed by a dedicated leadership and governance structure. Through the combination of the open government initiatives and HUD's leadership and governance, open government will become a more integrated part of daily HUD activities. HUD's governance structure consists of three working groups that work with the Customer Care Committee, one of HUD's governance bodies, to make the appropriate decisions about where to invest time and resources for open government activities. The Customer Care Committee's membership consists of senior executives who have detailed knowledge of HUD's strategic activities and processes. This enables the Committee to make informed open government investment decisions. The Data.gov working group and the Office of General Counsel provide support as necessary to the Customer Care Committee and its members. Lastly, HUD's open government Executive Sponsor, the Chief Operating Officer, provides the necessary leadership, oversight, direction, and vision to ensure open government is achievable, sustainable, and aligned with the Department's strategic plan.
