A Note From the Hosts

“ I would say that with the budgetary constraints it may not be a bad idea to have (TLC Executive Think Tank) in (Washington) DC to cut back on the travel.  I would say it would an excellent opportunity to bring representatives from various sectors to talk to each other again and to discuss best practices and most importantly sharing of resources.”   Jorge Ponce, Co-Chair, Council of Federal EEO & Civil Rights Executives

 

“...to have John Berry (Director of OPM) kick off this morning was phenomenal..he is the type of person who takes time to be responsive to the group he is presenting too…We have all been able to walk away with a wealth of ideas and best practices and action plans as to where we are going next…I want to thank you again for supporting us and for the excellent job you did ….I can see this effort (TLC Executive Think Tank Series) being one of the largest events to start that spark - the trigger - needed in motivating all of us to create the model workplace that the federal government should be…” Delia Johnson, Co-Chair, Council of Federal EEO & Civil Rights Executives
