Overview

Mission

The shared services leadership coalition's (sslc) mission is to advocate and support through educational, technical assistance and advocacy programs the accelerated implementation of modernized shared service business models in government on behalf of the public interest in improving government efficiency and effectiveness.

What it reported doing in 2025

Legislative advocacy continued at a high level of activity in 2025 as government efficiency became a high priority of the new trump administration. Relationships were further developed with the staffs of the house oversight and government reform committee and the senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee for the purpose of educating staff about shared services and exploring potential interest in legislation to advance implementation. Sslc continued to advocate its government-wide transformation plan with accompanying legislative proposal and gained significant interest in the two committees.
