At this year’s Leadership Training Conference in Rancho Mirage,
Ms. Dottie Gandy of Coveylink will present a fascinating seminar, entitled High Trust Organizations, on why trust is “the one thing that changes everything” and how it has become the key leadership competency of the new global economy. Ms. Gandy discusses how ethical behavior and integrity enable leaders and organizations – and all of us – to be more energized and successful.
The lessons presented in the seminar on inspiring lasting trust in personal and professional relationships that will lead to success and prosperity come straight from Stephen M.R. Covey’s highly acclaimed book, The Speed of Trust. Such reviewers as Larry King, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, and Steve Forbes have praised Mr. Covey’s book and believe his message to be a positive force in today’s world of business, government, and education.
This seminar will open your eyes and make you think. Don’t miss it! |

HELP
INCREASE WIFLE MEMBERSHIP
You may not realize it, but one of the benefits of your
membership in WIFLE is that you have joined an organization that
is a network of professionals who have a variety of law
enforcement experiences. And, it goes without saying, that the
larger the number of members, the more numerous and diverse
those experiences are.
Please help to increase the number of WIFLE members by bringing
in new members who, like yourself, are interested in coming
together with other individuals employed and/or involved in law
enforcement professions across the country and around the
world.
This is a wonderful time of year to share with prospective
members information about the up-coming Annual Leadership
Training Conference through the WIFLE website link. Remember to point out the
variety of speakers and topics scheduled in the program, the
awards that will be presented (including the WIFLE
scholarships), and the assortment of social/networking events
that will be held.
Last, remember
that WIFLE is the only professional organization for women in
federal law enforcement and their supporters.

National Law Enforcement Museum
On February 28, 2007, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) formally unveiled plans for the first-ever
 National Law Enforcement Museum. With groundbreaking scheduled for next summer, the National Law Enforcement Museum will be the largest and most comprehensive museum of its kind, providing visitors with a truly experiential voyage through the reality of yesterday’s and today’s law enforcement.
The Museum will be located in the heart of Washington, DC, in a historic setting called Judiciary Square (400 block of E Street, NW). Appropriately, the museum site is directly across the street from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, which was established in 1991. This property is surrounded by court buildings, the original City Hall for the District of Columbia, and the National Building Museum. This is a thriving area of downtown Washington that already attracts millions of tourists each year.
On the same day, the NLEOMF launched the public phase of its fundraising campaign, A Matter of Honor: the Campaign to Support the National Law Enforcement Museum, with a goal of raising $80 million to build this living legacy and tribute to law enforcement.
Read more about the plans for the museum and how you can contribute to the fundraising campaign on the NLEOMF
website.
