Basis for Promotion. The basis for promotion shall be as for the award of tenure under Article 15.10.
Basis for Promotion a. Promotion is recognition that an individual has the experience and demonstrated capability to perform the duties and responsibilities required at a higher class. It is not a reward for prior service, although the performance of present and past duties usually indicates the degree to which an individual has developed or is developing the qualities needed for successful performance at a higher class. A willingness to risk criticism in order to voice sensible dissent and to engage in constructive advocacy of policy alternatives is particularly relevant, as is performance under unusually difficult and dangerous circumstances. When considering individuals for promotion into and within the Senior Foreign Service (SFS), the Boards should take special care to give due consideration to demonstrated achievement and competence in the aforementioned areas.
b. Career members of the SFS occupy the most demanding and sensitive positions within FAS. They are responsible for the formulation, implementation, direction, coordination, and attainment of the foreign agricultural policies of the United States. Therefore, in ranking career members for promotion into or within the SFS, additional emphasis should be placed on the degree of an individual’s demonstrated leadership and competence in positions that require the ability to plan, organize, and administer programs; to represent U.S. interests internationally; to administer and allocate resources; and to supervise, motivate, and develop personnel. Individuals who have demonstrated that they are particularly effective supervisors and managers should be credited with higher quality experience in the ranking process.
c. When considering individuals for promotion to Class 1 and into or within the SFS, the Boards should remember that in creating the SFS, the Government stated in the Foreign Service Act that it intended to establish a Service, "characterized by strong policy formulation capabilities, outstanding leadership qualities, and highly developed functional, foreign language, and area expertise."
