It is the sense of Congress that— the Central Intelligence Agency plays one of the most critical roles in national defense; the intelligence provided by the officers of the Agency protects the United States; to carry out this mission, the Agency needs to attract, train, lead, and retain the most talented and diverse workforce possible; therefore, the Director must ensure the Agency is incorporating best practices from the private sector to hire, lead, manage, and retain the most important element of the organization, Agency personnel; and An External Advisory Board for Talent will provide the Agency an important mechanism to improve how the Agency recruits, leads, and manages Agency personnel.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency shall establish an advisory board for the Central Intelligence Agency, to be known as the External Advisory Board for Talent (in this section referred to as the Board ). The duties of the Board shall be to advise the Director and the head of the Talent Center of the Agency, or such successor organizational element, on— the most up-to-date best practices and innovations in the areas of hiring, leadership, management practices, and talent retention; and the fostering of a culture of continuous improvement within the Agency, whereby each successive generation of officers of the Agency become more effective leaders and improve the mission performance of the Agency organically and from within.
The Board shall be composed of at least 7 members selected from a diverse range of private sector industries, each of whom shall be, in the determination of the Director, a highly accomplished executive or thought leader in the field of human resource management with a demonstrated history of leading, or advising, high-functioning organizations. Each member of the Board shall be compensated at a rate prescribed by the Director for each day (including travel time) during which the member is engaged in the actual performance of duties vested in the Board.
Each member of the Board may receive travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, in accordance with applicable provisions under subchapter I of chapter 57 of title 5, United States Code, for travel between the residence of the member and the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. On a basis that is at least quarterly until the date of termination under subsection (h), the Board shall hold a meeting with the Director to provide the views of the Board on the state of the Agency workforce, a summary of the minutes of which shall be distributed among the Agency workforce to ensure transparency.
The head of the Talent Center of the Agency, or such successor organizational element, shall assist the Board in carrying out any studies necessary for the fulfilment of the duties of the Board and shall assist the Director in implementing any recommendations of the Board. The Director shall retain final authority with respect to the implementation of any such recommendations. On an annual basis until the date of termination under subsection (h), the Board shall submit to the Director and the congressional intelligence committees a report on the state of the Agency workforce.
On a regular basis until the date of termination under subsection (h), the members of the Board shall provide briefings to the congressional intelligence committees, and the staff members of such committees. The Board shall terminate on the date that is 3 years after the date on which the Board is established. In this section, the terms Agency and Director have the meaning given those terms in section 1 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 ( 50 U.S.C. 3501 ).
