June 4th Meeting

Following up on the excellent presentation at our May meeting by Erica Dornburg and Cheryl Kane Piasecki, which included an outstanding overview of the Public Financial Disclosure Report (SF-278) review process, our June 4^th meeting will continue to focus on the SF-278.   Our June meeting will feature Mr. Arthur Goldberg, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Federal Programs Branch.  Mr. Goldberg will address what happens when an agency can't get a public financial disclosure filer to file the required report report, i.e. going to court to enforce the requirement.  He will share with us what the Department of Justice looks for from the agencies to build their case.  He will also share some case stories with the community.  Mr. Goldberg is looking forward to questions from the ethics community on this timely topic.

 

As usual, we will meet from 12:15-1:30 in the OTS auditorium and, as always, 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 can pre-register by contacting Patrick.Carney@fcc.gov not later than Monday, June 1st.  Those who are neither on the IEC roster nor pre-registered can still be admitted by showing a Government ID to OTS Security personnel.

 

We’d also like to take a moment to remind our membership to frequently check this website for word of future meetings, ethics job openings and other news of interest to the Federal ethics community.  As we’ve indicated previously, if you’ve noticed a lack of email notices lately, the RSS Feed service that a lot of us used was shut down a while back, so it's necessary to resubscribe in order to receive future notices of postings.  Please read our April 1 posting regarding receiving email notices of IEC postings.  It describes one option called FeedBlitz that seems to work well for many of us.  You can get to the April 1 posting by clicking on the link associated with that date on the calendar on the top right side of our homepage.
