Message from the Council on Veterans Employment:
The Council on Veterans Employment will meet on March 1, 2011, at 10-11:30 am, at the Department of Veterans Affairs (Room TBD). An agenda will be forthcoming, but one of the key issue is how well are agencies performing on their FY 2011 hiring percentage goals for the President’s Veterans Employment Initiative (VEI). We ask that only the Member (Department or Agency Head) and/or the Member’s Official Designee attend the meeting due to space limitations. Please RSVP with Shirl Sibley at Shirl.Sibley@opm.gov or (202) 606-1575 by February 22, 2011. POC is Joseph Kennedy, joseph.kennedy@opm.gov.
OTHER News & Events
THE CHCO COUNCIL is seeking detailees to help support the Council’s wide range of projects, priorities and goals.
A detail with the Council offers a unique developmental opportunity to support the members as they work together toward common government-wide HR solutions. The ideal candidate is outgoing and self-motivated, and must be able to handle competing priorities and deadlines in a responsible and efficient manner. CHCOs and Deputies are asked to nominate GS-9 through GS-12 candidates for a 3-6 month detail opportunity at OPM. Please contact Kathryn Medina for more information or to obtain a PD (kathryn.medina@opm.gov ).
The CHCO bulletin is the primary means of disseminating pertinent and timely information to CHCOs on a wide range of Human Capital issues. The consolidated nature of this bulletin is meant to reduce the e-mail flow and streamline key communications.
Each agency should ensure they are getting all information contained in the weekly bulletin.
If you have any comments, suggestions or questions on the bulletin or its contents, please feel free to contact me directly at kathryn.medina@opm.gov
