Regional Training Program
See you in October
The weather is turning...autumn is right around the corner! It's time for the Northeast Region's Autumn Regional Training Program. This year, we are planning to meet in-person at the Seneca Falls Historical Society building, Seneca Falls, NY, from Friday, 10/14 (evening meet-and-greet) to Sunday, 10/16 (mid-afternoon). Highlights of the two-and-a-half days of training include:
- A focus on women's health from several aspects
- A focus on you and your TSP
- An update on the progress of the James Webb Space Telescope (if you've seen any of the photos being sent back from the JWST, you know how fantastic this will be!0
- Touring through historical Seneca Falls, including a free tour of the Seneca Falls Historical Society by one of the curators and then branching out, either in a group or individually around the Seneca Falls area
- Visit the National Women's Hall of Fame where you can see FEW's first National President, Allie B. Latimer; tour the Elizabeth Cady Stanton grounds and park; tour other museums, and, on your own time, visit local wineries, shop, and go to the nearby casino.
There is a lot to see and do in Historic Seneca Falls and you'll have a great time learning more to help you feel your best at work, plan for your future, and more!
