Empowering and Inspiring Public Servants
The Volcker Alliance, founded by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul A. Volcker, is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the public sector workforce to solve the challenges facing our nation.
2026 Paul A. Volcker Public Integrity Award Winner: Jerome H. Powell
The Volcker Alliance is thrilled to announce that the 2026 Paul A. Volcker Public Integrity Award recipient is Chairman Jerome H. Powell, the 16th Chair of the Federal Reserve.
Chairman Powell’s career echoes that of our founder, Chairman Volcker, upholding a standard of faithful service impermeable to political pressure. Like Volcker, Powell has shown that public service sometimes demands more than making the “right” call. It demands making the right call when there is a cost to doing so.
2025 Annual Report
Mr. Volcker envisioned a public sector workforce with the experience, preparation, and commitment to ensure that government is accountable and delivers with excellence.
There has never been a more critical and publicly resonant moment to advance Mr. Volcker’s vision. By listening, learning, adapting, and innovating, the Volcker Alliance has developed a strategy for public service renewal in 2026 and beyond.
Our Approach
Our work is organized into four “lenses” to advance our mission. Our most impactful initiatives cut across all lenses, educating, empowering, connecting, and inspiring current and future public servants.
Our Work
We promote innovation in public service education, connect talent to government jobs, empower leaders to build the democracy of our future, and inspire others with the story of Paul Volcker's commitment to public service.
