September 3rd Meeting

Our September 3rd meeting will feature OPM’s Wade Plunkett and Susan Whitman, who will address various aspects of the Combined Federal Campaign of particular interest to agency ethics officials.  Summer may not be over, but CFC season is just around the corner.  For us that means a host of ethics questions and concerns on solicitations, gifts, voluntary activities, contractor involvement, and many other aspects of fundraising.  Our September speakers will not only explain the relevant rules on CFC but guide us through the ethics thicket to keep our employees on the right track.  You won’t want to miss this presentation. 

 

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.  Agency 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, August 31st.  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 once again 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 you need 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.
