MEMORANDUM

TO:                  Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:            Joseph E. Gangloff, Deputy Director

SUBJECT:      Annual Survey of Ethics Officials

            Within the next few days, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) will launch its annual Survey of Ethics Officials.  The purpose of the survey is to provide OGE with information to enhance the executive branch ethics program. 

            The distribution for this survey is very narrow; therefore, it is important that each recipient responds.  The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

            Survey invitations will be e-mailed to Designated Agency Ethics Officials (DAEOs), Alternate DAEOs, and other high-level agency ethics contacts.

            Survey responses will be anonymous; none of the information supplied will be associated with specific individuals or with specific agencies.

            If you are a DAEO or Alternate DAEO and do not receive the survey invitation e-mail on or before October 14, please contact Karen Rigby at 202-482-9212 or by e-mail at ethicsofficialsurvey@oge.gov.  Ms. Rigby is also available to answer any questions regarding the survey.
