Program Offices

The ACHP's major program offices are reflected in its organizational structure.

Federal Agency Programs

The Office of Federal Agency Programs participates in Section 106 reviews, develops and implements program improvement initiatives, provides technical assistance and guidance for Section 106 users, and works to improve federal agency and stakeholder understanding of Section 106. It also oversees implementation of Section 3 of Executive Order 13287, "Preserve America," and develops and administers the ACHP's training program, including delivery of classroom courses, webinars, and e-learning.

External Engagement

The Office of External Engagement supports the ACHP's efforts to shape national preservation policy by developing recommendations to the members, analyzing legislation, and participating in federal preservation initiatives. It advises ACHP leadership and staff on Indigenous issues and advises on Tribal and Native Hawaiian consultation under Section 106. The office also manages media relations, responds to public and congressional inquiries, and leads the ACHP's external outreach activities.

Executive Director

The Office of the Executive Director has senior management responsibility for all staff organizational units and reports to the chairman.

General Counsel

The Office of General Counsel provides legal advice and analyses, reviews and manages Freedom of Information Act requests, and oversees the agency ethics program.

Administration

The Office of Administration oversees a full range of administrative, personnel, procurement, space planning, budget, and fiscal services and coordinates related services provided by the Department of the Interior (DOI) and GSA on a reimbursable basis. The office also provides administrative and clerical support to ACHP leadership and the executive director. In FY 2017 the director of the office retired, and his position was converted into a lower-graded human resources staff position. The existing budget officer assumed supervisory responsibilities.

Information Technology

The Office of Information Technology manages the ACHP’s information technology services, infrastructure, and cybersecurity operations supporting ACHP staff and clients in the conduct of agency programs. As part of technology services delivery, OIT promotes innovative uses of technology and provides enterprise applications and web services supporting key agency activities. OIT provides the daily operations of the agency data center, cloud infrastructure, network, telecommunications, and information security.
