October 28, 2019 | 8:00 am – 3:00 pm | Arlington, VA
Join GTSC for a deep-dive into the missions and challenges faced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. USCIS’s Strategic Plan focuses on four strategic goals that emphasize the efficiency and effectiveness of core operational priorities and the continuous improvements the agency needs to achieve quality organizational performance. The goals are supported by 14 supporting strategic objectives. These objectives focus on championing the workforce at all levels, continuing to enhance rigorous anti-fraud and risk mitigation measures to protect national security, operating as efficiently as possible as they examine and fairly decide the outcome of applications and petitions, and improving their digital environment.
USCIS’s four objectives include:
- Strengthen our investment in an empowered workforce to better accomplish the agency’s mission
- Safeguard the homeland by deterring, detecting, and addressing vulnerabilities in the immigration system
- Ensure fair and efficient adjudication of benefits and delivery of information
- Continuously improve key processes, programs, and systems
CBP Day 2019
Join us for our Eight Annual CBP Day 2019: Strategies for a Dynamic Operational Environment
October 10, 2019 | 8:00 am – 3:00 pm | Arlington, VA
The CBP Strategy 2020-2025 is focused on twelve strategic initiatives that will advance CBP’s ability to accomplish their mission. To reach their goals and better accomplish their daily tasks, CBP must improve existing capabilities, develop new ones for the changing operational environment, and adapt their processes to better organize, train, equip and sustain their frontline operators. The strategic initiatives laid out in their strategic plan address key challenges and opportunities which guide where CBP should focus its resources. In particular, the strategy lays out specific activities and outcomes that must be achieved while also acknowledging that unforeseen developments or events may require reassessment and reorientation.
CBP day 2019 will focus on these strategic initiatives and work to help attendees understand these many missions, where industry can contribute, and understand the challenges to the agency.
