Personal staff members work directly for a member, and generally focus on local interests. Professional staff members (referred to as PSMs) work for a committee. The committee relies on the professional staff to conduct visits and report their findings to committee members. The interest of a PSM is typically focused on programs or systems for which the committee has oversight responsibility. PSMs on military oversight committees are often retired military officers.
