Virtual Training Event – All Clear? When Employee Security Clearances are Revoked or Suspended
May 14 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Course Description

If a federal employee is required to have access to classified information, then the employee must be eligible for a security clearance in order to keep that position. What happens when that employee no longer has that clearance? What role does the MSPB play? What proof does the agency need to provide if the employee appeals a removal? What are the pitfalls that agencies need to avoid?

During this two-hour virtual event, Ann Boehm will detail how to handle a security clearance revocation and any resulting indefinite suspension or removal from employment. Ms. Boehm spent 26 years as a government attorney, focusing primarily on employment and labor law in federal enforcement agencies, so she’s just the person to answer any questions you might have – and she’ll do so in this live event.

This is an important topic that can’t be ignored. Employee security clearances are a matter of national security, and they must be handled appropriately.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Identify and understand the executive orders pertaining to national security.
  • Understand the National Security Adjudicative Guidelines.
  • Recognize the agency’s burden when removing or suspending for failure to maintain a security clearance.

Virtual Training Event – Creating Inclusivity: Neurodivergence in the Federal Workplace

Course Description

Neurodiversity refers to the diversity in how people think, learn, and behave – it’s the idea that people interact with their environment in many ways. Neurodiversity is also inclusive of individuals with learning differences, autism spectrum disorders, or other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD.

Research estimates that around 1 percent of the population has an autism spectrum disorder, between 5-9 percent are estimated to have a learning disability and just under 10 percent have a diagnosis of ADHD. The ability to recruit and retain neurodivergent employees will make your agency more diverse — and effective.

In this two-hour virtual training event, FELTG Instructor Shana Palmieri, LCSW will provide an overview of diagnoses that fall under the term “neurodivergence” and share guidance on how to best create an inclusive workplace.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Recognize the strengths and challenges individuals may bring to the workplace.
  • Use a strength-based management approach to create a supportive workplace.
  • Identify workplace accommodations for qualified individuals.
