The Office of Legacy Management was formally established as a new DOE element on December 15, 2003. This Office is responsible for ensuring that DOE's post-closure responsibilities are met and for providing DOE programs for long-term surveillance and maintenance, records management, work force restructuring and benefits continuity, property management, land use planning, and community assistance. 

After merging personnel from four different organizations and four different cultures into one cohesive organization, management and employees began an intense effort to define ourselves for long-term sustainable operation. We came to consensus on how we are going to operate as a major element in the Department’s mission and developed new approaches to maximize efficiency and provide the best possible service to those who depend on us. LM has developed a leadership philosophy and core values and has made them an integral part of our policy and procedures.

LM is committed to an ongoing process of self-assessment to constantly improve our service to our customers and the American taxpayer. I invite you to view our leadership philosophy, core values, and our goals and performance measures. Please feel free to provide feedback on how we are doing and to make suggestions as to how we could improve.
