MEMORANDUM

TO: Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM: Barbara A. Mullen-Roth Associate Director for Education

SUBJECT: Ethics Workshops - Dallas, Albuquerque, Denver, St. Paul, Los Angeles, and San Diego

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) will conduct identical 4-hour Ethics Training Workshops in the following cities:

Dallas, TX - May 3 Albuquerque, NM - May 4 Denver, CO - May 16 and 17 St. Paul, MN - May 18 Los Angeles, CA - Jun 5 and 6 San Diego, CA - Jun 7

These workshops are designed for ethics officials familiar with the standards of conduct regulations and the conflict of interest statutes, particularly those who provide ethics counseling. New hands-on exercises challenge participants to analyze and apply the standards of conduct provisions and conflict of interest statutory elements.

The workshops are free to each agency. However, advance registration is required. Each person planning to attend MUST register by faxing a completed registration form to OGE at least two weeks prior to the scheduled workshop. Registration will be handled on a first-come basis and class size will be limited to 40 participants. NO TELEPHONE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Registration forms are attached. Please fax registration forms to:

Sheila A. Powers Conference and Education Coordinator FAX Number: 202-523-1251

OGE will confirm each person's registration by fax at least one week prior to the date of the course. Due to the volume of registrations, we ask that registrants NOT follow up on confirmations.

You are our primary means of advertising these workshops. Please circulate the attached notice and registration forms among your ethics officials in the above areas as soon as possible.

Please note that this training is targeted at agency officials who have Government ethics responsibilities; it is NOT to be used by agencies in fulfilling their annual training requirements for employees.

For your information, we intend to offer the same training sessions in the following cities during the remainder of FY 1995:

Boston Chicago Cincinnati Cleveland Indianapolis Kansas City Philadelphia St. Louis Washington, DC (offered again: May 10 and 11; July 19 and 20)

As soon as arrangements are firm, announcements will be sent out on the training dates for each city.

For additional information concerning the workshops, Ms. Powers may be reached at 202-523-5757, ext. 1104.
