MEMORANDUM

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.

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.
