U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

We can provide residential meeting space, lodging, food service and administrative support to Government organizations who want to conduct off-site management and executive development training, conferences, strategic planning sessions, and other events.

Our national centers are self-contained, residential facilities designed for executive and management development activities. Excellent accommodations, unique features, and special services make our locations an ideal learning environment. We offer student lounges, continuous beverage service, a resource center, a technology center with student computers, a student business center with FTS access, copiers and FAX, and a fitness center. All facilities exceed ADA requirements for accessibility.

Our national centers are located at the Eastern Management Development Center (EMDC) in Shepherdstown, West Virginia; the Western Management Development Center (WMDC) in Aurora, Colorado; and the Federal Executive Institute (FEI) in Charlottesville, Virginia. Travel to any of the locations is easily accomplished. Driving is a convenient option if you live in or near the Washington, DC metropolitan area. If you travel by air, shuttle service operates between Washington Dulles Airport and the EMDC, and between Denver International Airport and the WMDC.

The charge is $224 per person, per day. This represents a "package plan" that is arranged through an Interagency Agreement (or some agency transfer of funds) between your agency and the Office of Personnel Management. This means that participants do not pay for their rooms and meals on their own and are not reimbursed per diem. Generally, the Interagency Agreement simplifies procurement of facilities and services.

If a group holding confirmed space cancels the session less than 30 calendar days from the arrival date, a cancellation penalty is charged. The penalty is based on one night's "package price" per the number of expected participants.
