Wednesday, October 8th Meeting

As part of our upcoming "transition" series, the presenters at our Wednesday, October 8^th meeting will discuss the vacancy act and records retention.  (Please note that is a departure from our usual Thursday meeting day.)  These topics are quite relevant for appointments between now and the end of the calendar year, and for disposition of records before January.  Our presenters will be Paul Koffsky, the Deputy General Counsel for Personnel and Health Policy at the Defense Department, and Gary Stern, an attorney at the National Archives who specializes in records retention.

In addition, for those who attended the OGE Conference in Orlando earlier this month, if you have suggestions of possible topics to be included in the upcoming IEC calendar, please feel free to raise them at our October meeting.

As usual, we will meet from 12:15-1:30 in the OTS auditorium, 1700 G Street, N.W., Washington, DC (the corner of 17th and G Streets).  Individuals who are on the IEC roster need not pre-register for this meeting.  Ethics officials who are not on our roster but who wish to attend our October meeting can pre-register by contacting Pat Carney not later than Monday, October 6th. Those who are neither on the IEC roster nor pre-registered can still be admitted to our meeting site by showing a Government ID to OTS Security personnel.

For future planning, please note that our November meeting is scheduled for Friday, November 14^th, which also represents a departure from our usual meeting day practice.
