                Executive Order 13560 of December 14, 2010

                
White House Council for Community Solutions

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and in order to encourage the growth and 
                maximize the impact of innovative community solutions 
                and civic participation by all Americans, it is hereby 
                ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment. There is established the 
                White House Council for Community Solutions (Council) 
                within the Corporation for National and Community 
                Service (CNCS) to support the social innovation and 
                civic participation agenda of the Domestic Policy 
                Council.

                Sec. 2. Mission and Functions of the Council. The 
                Council shall support the nationwide ``Call To 
                Service'' campaign authorized in the Serve America Act 
                (Public Law 111-13) by:

                    (a) identifying the key attributes of effective 
                community-developed solutions to our national problems;
                    (b) identifying specific policy areas in which the 
                Federal Government is investing significant resources 
                that lend themselves to cross-sector collaboration and 
                providing recommendations for such collaborations;
                    (c) highlighting examples of best practices, tools, 
                and models that are making a demonstrable positive 
                impact in communities and fostering increased cross-
                sector collaboration and civic participation;
                    (d) making recommendations to the President on how 
                to engage individuals, State and local governments, 
                institutions of higher education, non-profit and 
                philanthropic organizations, community groups, and 
                businesses to support innovative community-developed 
                solutions that have a significant impact in solving our 
                Nation's most serious problems; and
                    (e) honoring and highlighting the work of leaders 
                in service and social innovation who are making a 
                significant impact in their communities.

                Sec. 3. Membership. (a) The Council shall be composed 
                of not more than 30 members from outside the Federal 
                Government appointed by the President. The Chair of the 
                Board of Directors of the CNCS shall also serve on the 
                Council. Appointed members of the Council may include 
                individuals with relevant experience or subject matter 
                expertise that the President deems appropriate, as well 
                as individuals who may serve as representatives of a 
                variety of sectors, including, among others, State and 
                local governments, institutions of higher education, 
                non-profit and philanthropic organizations, community 
                groups, and businesses.

                    (b) The President shall designate one of the 
                members of the Council to serve as Chair. The Chair 
                shall convene and preside at meetings of the Council.
                    (c) The term of office of members appointed by the 
                President shall be 2 years, and members shall be 
                eligible for reappointment. Members may continue to 
                serve after the expiration of their terms until the 
                President appoints a successor. A member appointed to 
                fill a vacancy shall serve only for the unexpired term 
                of such vacancy.

                Sec. 4. Administration. (a) The CNCS shall provide 
                funding and administrative support for the Council to 
                the extent permitted by law and within existing 
                appropriations.

                    (b) The heads of executive departments and agencies 
                shall assist and provide information to the Council, 
                consistent with applicable law and

[[Page 78876]]

                subject to the availability of appropriations, as may 
                be necessary to carry out the functions of the Council.
                    (c) The members of the Council shall serve without 
                compensation for their work on the Council. Members of 
                the Council may, however, receive travel expenses, 
                including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as 
                authorized by law for persons serving intermittently in 
                Government service (5 U.S.C. 5701-5707).
                    (d) Insofar as the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 
                as amended (5 U.S.C. App.) (the ``Act''), may apply to 
                the administration of the Council, any functions of the 
                President under the Act, except that of reporting to 
                the Congress, shall be performed by the Chief Executive 
                Officer of the CNCS in accordance with the guidelines 
                issued by the Administrator of General Services.

                Sec. 5. Termination. The Council shall terminate 2 
                years from the date of this order, unless renewed by 
                the President.

                Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the 
head thereof; or

(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    December 14, 2010.
