In celebration of Asian⁄Pacific American Heritage Month the Equal Employment Opportunity office will co-host two workshops May 20 on ‘‘Getting Down to Business, Managing Your Career Past the ‘Bamboo Ceiling.’”
This year’s presenters will be Gazal Modhera, Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Asian⁄Pacific American EEOC working group. The presenters will discuss the realities faced in today's work force and share best-practices and on-going initiatives of the group.
The first workshop is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in Rooms 101 and 102 of Bldg. 1489. It is tailored for managers, supervisors and team leads. This workshop will focus on investing in the future of the Asian work force.
The second workshop will be presented to the general work force from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the same location and will focus on assisting employees to reach their fullest potential.
Pre-registration is encouraged for this event. To register for either of these workshops or to request special accommodations, call Kathleen Finkbeiner at 301-342-6671. The workshops will not be broadcast via VTC; however, they will be videotaped and sent to the other NAVAIR sites for later viewing.
