It’s that time again! GovLoop is now accepting new applications for its Featured Contributor program — an opportunity for current and former government employees and industry representatives to write on topics about which they’re passionate. It’s a chance to share your knowledge with — and be recognized by — GovLoop’s community of 300,000+ public sector employees, industry partners, and knowledge experts.
Specifically, we are looking for between 12 and 15 writers, who will each submit an approximately 500-word blog post every two weeks during the first half of 2024 (12 posts total). We especially are interested in topics that fall within one or more of the following categories:
- Employee and constituent engagement
- Career advice for new and current supervisors
- Professional and personal development
- Artificial intelligence/machine learning
- Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility
- Data use and/or literacy
- Process improvements/agency outcomes
- Cybersecurity and similar issues
- Workforce management/leadership
Please be prepared to submit articles in at least two topic categories.
