 Tenth Annual WIFLE Leadership Training Conference
Register now to attend WIFLE’s 10th Annual Leadership Training Conference from June 16-18, 2009, at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson, Arizona. This year’s conference is looking to be the best yet.
A special pre-conference training session, entitled “At the
Border,” will take place on Monday, June 15, hosted by the U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The Tucson Sector covers most of the State of Arizona from the New Mexico State line to the Yuma County line.
This area covers a total of 262 border miles and is the busiest Sector in the country in both illegal alien apprehensions and marijuana seizures.
In 2007, 378,000 illegal immigrants were arrested; 41,000 of those had criminal histories. Those attendees taking advantage of this special session will be transported to the border for a first-hand look at Border Patrol operations getting "up close and personal."
Absolutely a unique experience. Come a day early to take advantage of the special session.
Go to the conference website at www.wifle.org to register today for both the conference and pre-conference session. You don’t want to miss this one!

Federally Employed Women Urge Focus on EEO Compliance
Federally Employed Women (FEW) recently issued a plea to President Obama to commit to improving Administration and Congressional support for women and minorities in the federal government.
In its statement, FEW highlighted a 2008 report by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stating that 50% of federal departments and agencies failed to comply with requirements mandating the submission of reports on EEO employment. As only half of all agencies filed the reports, there is no way to know which agencies are striving to ensure that women and minorities are adequately represented. FEW urged the new President to ensure that EEO compliance receives attention as his Administration moves forward. |
