Ideas
Advancing Equity in the U.S. Federal Government
Last week, more than 25 Federal Agency equity plans were released and are now available here. The plans are succinct, less than 10 pages of clear statements about what is already being done to advance equity and what new actions are being taken, as required by Executive Order 13985. Since advanced equity is directly related to how assets are used, the Asset Leadership Network applauds the U.S. Federal Government actions to systematically improve in this critical way. Private organizations, institutions, and associations can learn from this approach to advancing equity.

ALN Draft Asset Management Executive Order
Speaking of Executive Orders, we are revising the ALN Draft Executive Order for Federal Asset Management that was originally written in 2016. It is an appropriate time to reintroduce the concept with a refreshed view of how federal asset management can help the nation fulfill its obligations to citizens. People interested in participating in a web meeting on Tuesday 26 April at Noon Eastern can contact ALN Executive Director Mike Bordenaro at mbordenaro@AssetLeadership.net

ALN Roundtable: People Are Not Assets
April 25 at 6pm Eastern
It is common for organizational leaders to say, “Our people are our most important assets.” While well-meaning, assets are things – tangible and intangible. The contributions of people are the intangible assets that are being referred to in the misguided phrase above. The patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property of people are assets, not the people themselves.
