DOIU's Cultural Resources and Events' Upcoming Activities |
 |
The National Business Center (NBC) DOIU Cultural Resources and Event Division provides a wide variety of programs and activities designed to educate the general public, DOI staff, and other Government employees. From providing training on issues related to home and work-life to illustrating the history and work of the Department of the Interior, these exhibitions and programs advance mission critical goals and support the President's Management Agenda. Examples of the diverse offerings of the Division are listed below.
Speakers Forums
In 2006, DOI University will celebrate its seventh year of the Executive Forums and Government Wide Forums. The forum speakers will include renowned authors, academics and business leaders.
Executive Forums
The Executive Forums provide opportunities for Senior Executives and employees at the GS-14 and GS-15 levels to participate in a 4-hour round table session. Executives share lessons learned and discuss how new ideas apply to Interior situations. The Executive Forms were created by the Assistant Secretary, Policy, Management, and Budget, and managed by the Department of the Interior University in collaboration with bureau partners and in partnership with Politics and Prose Bookstore. For more information, contact Brenda Woods at (202) 208-3617 or e-mail Brenda_f_woods@nbc.gov.
