  • Treasury-Wide Steering CommitteeTo manage Treasury's shift toward transparency and openness throughout its operations, Treasury has developed a governance structure to develop the implementation plan, identify areas of opportunity, solicit and incorporate public feedback, and provide leadership across the Department to create a culture of openness and transparency in operations. An Open Government Steering Committee has been convened with representatives from each of Treasury's bureaus to develop the guidance and provide leadership on these activities across the Department. Additional members of the committee include representatives from the offices of Public Affairs, General Counsel, Inspectors General, Management and Budget, Privacy and Records, Deputy Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer, Procurement Executive, and Human Resources. In addition, the steering committee will develop the reporting framework to ensure accountability to the Department and the public.
