The Government Affairs Institute (GAI) at Georgetown University educates about Congress and selected legislative policy issues, and is affiliated with the Georgetown Public Policy Institute and Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The institute trains federal executives in such responsibilities as testifying before Congress and developing budgets. GAI offers a certificate in legislative studies program and conducts a variety of courses on Capitol Hill, and at its offices in Georgetown.〔http://gai.georgetown.edu/about About GAI〕 The Institute faculty consists of professional educators who are congressional observers with backgrounds in political science, public administration, history, and economics, under the direction of Kenneth A. Gold, who became GAI Director in 1992.〔http://gai.georgetown.edu/kenneth-a-gold-ph-d/ Kenneth Gold Biography〕 == History == GAI was established in 1965 as part of the executive branch's United States Civil Service Commission. In 1978, the Institute became part of the United States Office of Personnel Management as a result of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 which restructured the functions of the Civil Service Commission. From 1978-84, Elizabeth Duke served as the director of the Government Affairs Institute in OPM's Office of Executive and Management Development. GAI was privatized by the federal government in 1995 and began its current affiliation with Georgetown University in 1997.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Government Affairs Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
