PLAN AHEAD: Fall 2009 Calendar
4th Annual
FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR
LAW SYMPOSIUM 2009
Presented by The FELTG Team

Celebrating 30 Years of the CSRA: The Civil Service Reform Act went into effect on January 10, 1979 “in order to provide the people of the United States with a competent, honest, and productive Federal work force.” For the first time in our history, Congress saw fit to establish a comprehensive, interrelated system of laws and oversight agencies to protect federal employees from non-merit actions, and to provide the right to engage in collective bargaining.

In honor of this occasion, and with the goal of understanding what the past three decades of the CSRA have done to and for federal employees, the non-profit Federal Employment Law Training Group is proud to present our 4th Annual Federal Employment and Labor Law Symposium at the FDIC Conference Center in Arlington, VA to hear about the latest CSRA developments, with guests Anthony J. Kaminski, Chief Operating Officer from the EEOC, MSPB Vice-Chair Mary Rose and FLRA Chair Thomas M. Beck, NTEU Senior Deputy General Counsel Elaine Kaplan and AFGE President John Gage -- and the FELTG  legal team of Peter Broida, Gary Gilbert, Ernest Hadley and William Wiley.

 

 
This update seminar is designed to help the front-line employment law practitioner and agency policy maker stay abreast of the most recent changes and developments in these evolving areas of law. Few individuals have the time to read every MSPB and EEOC decision issued each year, or to stay current on FLRA policies and issues. You may have attended other update seminars, but nothing can compare to the talent and experience that this panel of the best and brightest in the fields brings to the table, to discuss the most recent and relevant changes in employment and labor law.

FELTG does not seek pre-approval of its seminars for CLE credit because the attorneys who attend often are admitted to many different state bars with many different requirements for CLE credit. However, we are happy to work with any individual attorney seeking CLE credit for attendance, and it has been our general experience that many states will approve some number of CLE credit hours based on submission of the course materials, an agenda, and resumes of the speakers. To facilitate the award of CLE, FELTG takes roll at every seminar and maintains a record of attendance for a minimum of five years, a requirement of many state bar associations.  The bottom line for CLE credit is that while the responsibility for applying for credit lies with each attorney attendee, FELTG will work to assist in the application process.  Please consult your state CLE commission for an 'Individual CLE Application' and let us know what submissions we can supply in your support.
