  • Memo from L. Carole Wharton to Heads of Bureaus and Offices, 12/07/1993
  • The Office of Planning, Management and Budget (OPMB) was officially formed on October 1, 1993 as a result of a merger between the Office of Planning and Budget and the Office of Financial and Management Analysis. Originally, the functions and responsibilities were part of the Treasurer's Office.
  • OPMB plans for and manages resources for the Smithsonian. The Office assists the Secretary, senior management, and Board of Regents in setting priorities, allocating resources, and measuring performance. OPMB gathers, analyzes, and presents Institutional needs to the Regents, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and Congress for evaluation and disposition. OPMB also provides services to central and unit managers in order to improve planning for, as well as management of, Smithsonian resources. In addition, OPMB develops and disseminates Institutional policy directives and announcements.
  • OPMB is comprised of four units: Budget Formulation and Execution, which provides guidance and support to bureaus and offices in the development of budgets and in the monitoring of the spending of allocated funds; Compliance and Representation, which serves as the Smithsonian's contact with Congress and Office of Management and Budget on budgetary issues and coordinates the review of existing Smithsonian directives and preparation of new Institutional policy directives; Financial Planning and Management Support supports strategic financial planning at the Institution and is the source of Institutional financial data; and Program Planning and Management Support, which provides consultative support to program-related planning and management activities throughout the Institution, coordinates the Internal Controls Review process, and prepares the Institution's plans for presentation to external audiences.
  • Professional staff members of OPMB have included: L. Carole Wharton, Director, 1991-2001; Bruce A. Dauer, Director, 2001-2012; David Voyles, Director, 2013-2018; Ken Johnson, Acting Director, 2019- ; Nancy D.
