SES leaders share a broad perspective of government and a public service commitment, which is grounded in the Constitution. The keystone of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the SES was designed to be a corps of executives selected for their leadership qualifications. The SES includes most managerial, supervisory and policy positions classified above General Schedule grade 15 or equivalent positions in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. Members of the SES serve in key positions just below the top Presidential appointees and are a link between these appointees and the rest of the federal work force.
