“Since a President's agenda is always in motion, it is important for the OPL to facilitate listening sessions to receive the views of the various leaders and members of key interest groups.”

What has happened

Jul 1, 2026 Not started
No published record of Office of Public Liaison listening sessions. The office is staffed — director, deputy director and three special assistants in the 2026 personnel report — but the report carries titles rather than activities, and searches of the whitehouse.gov presidential-actions Corpus for listening sessions, roundtables and stakeholder meetings and of the Federal Register for the Office of Public Liaison returned nothing. The ask describes an internal practice with no public instrument, which under ADR 0003 is not-started with the negative search recorded.

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence

Research notes

Researched 2026-08-27, in one search that covered all of Chapter 1’s White House staffing asks.

The Office of Public Liaison is staffed: James L. Goyer as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Public Liaison, a deputy director at Special Assistant rank and three Special Assistants to the President for the Office of Public Liaison (2026 report).
The ask is about an activity, and neither the personnel report nor any presidential action records OPL listening sessions. Searched White House presidential actions for “listening”, “roundtable”, “stakeholder” and the Federal Register for OPL — nothing.
Listening sessions may well be held; they are not published on an allowlisted source, and this site records what is.
