It is a tragedy, not a triumph, when talented, expert public servants&nbsp;are chased away by leaders hostile to science and chaotic work conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Without capable, experienced leaders in our public health agencies, our nation is less prepared for the public health challenges we can anticipate, like the fast-approaching flu season or the continued spread of preventable diseases like measles, let alone the ones we cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Agencies need stable&nbsp;and qualified&nbsp;leadership, not a revolving door of acting officials without the true authority of the role they are temporarily filling. This is another opportunity for Congress to&nbsp;use its oversight authority and power of the purse to ensure&nbsp;the administration takes the steps necessary to protect the American people from public health threats.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the past 24 years, the nonpartisan, nonprofit <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/\">Partnership for Public Service<\/a> has been dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy. We work across administrations to help transform the way government works by providing agencies with the data insights they need to succeed, developing effective leaders, inspiring the next generation to public service, facilitating smooth presidential transitions and recognizing exceptional federal employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/\">ourpublicservice.org<\/a>, follow us @PublicService and subscribe today to get the latest federal news, information on upcoming Partnership programs and events, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[9037],"pps_publication_topics":[11953],"class_list":["post-45817","pps_press_release","type-pps_press_release","status-publish","hentry","tag-federal-workforce","pps_publication_topics-workforce"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.2 (Yoast SEO v26.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Partnership for Public Service statement on senior level departures at CDC &#8226;
