Class A Event for Schedule Cs

Are you a new Schedule C political appointee? Then the Office of Personnel Management wants you to know that even though there are only a couple of years left in President Bush's term, "you will play a key role in turning President Bush’s principles of a citizen-centered, results-oriented, and market-based government into reality." And OPM wants you to attend the next in its series of briefings for Schedule Cs on Feb. 7. It'll cost your agency $425, OPM says, but that'll be money well spent, because you'll get "an overview of executive branch priorities and a unique opportunity to interact with a broad range of policymakers." OPM's being coy for now about who exactly those people might be, but its announcement promises that "the keynote address will be delivered by a senior Bush Administration official." And what's more, a federal judge will be there to formally swear you in to your new position.
