WASHINGTON—The 2025 Presidential Transition Project reached a new milestone this week with 60 coalition partners now officially serving as its Advisory Board. The broad and diverse alliance is working collaboratively to ensure a successful presidential administration begins in January 2025.
Project 2025 is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding commitment to provide policy and personnel recommendations for incoming presidential administrations. This time, however, it is relying heavily on the work of partners spanning the conservative movement.
Under the direction of Project 2025 leaders Paul Dans and Spencer Chretien, the Advisory Board has grown from a handful of organizations last year to five dozen today. (Full list below.)
“Project 2025 is proud to work with 60 of the nation’s leading conservative organizations joining forces to prepare and seize the day,” said Dans, the project’s director and former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management during the Trump administration. “Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the administrative state.”
Heritage President Kevin Roberts created Project 2025 to develop both a governing agenda for the next conservative president and ensure the administration puts the right people in place, ready to implement those ideas on Jan. 20, 2025.
The project has four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook. The coalition released its policy agenda, “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,” in April along with the Presidential Personnel Database and Presidential Administration Academy. Teams are already beginning work on the 180-day playbook.
“With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government,” said Chretien, Project 2025’s associate director and former special assistant to the president and associate director of Presidential Personnel during the Trump administration.
