What is FedPitch?:

The concept of FedPitch involves a one-hour session where 20 people give 2-minute "pitches" of innovative ways to attract and recruit people to federal public service and/or new approaches for retaining, engaging, motivating, rewarding, developing, or leading the federal workforce.  These pitches will be presented before a live audience and a panel of judges.  The judges will rate each pitch based on factors such as originality and feasibility.  At the end of the one-hour session, the judges will announce a winner.  The winner will have dinner with the judges to discuss the winning idea in more detail and explore approaches for possibly implementing the idea.
