Greetings PTC Members,

This is just a friendly reminder that Karen Lebing from OPM will be providing a workshop entitled: Evaluating and Improving Performance Management Systems.  OPM has developed the Performance Appraisal Assessment Tool (PAAT) to help agencies and OPM assess whether agency appraisal programs are fair, credible, and transparent. The PAAT is a self-assessment tool that requires agencies to audit their appraisal programs, complete the PAAT, and submit it to OPM for panel review and scoring. This workshop will provide an in-depth review of each of the 10 sections in the PAAT and will provide general results of initial scores across the Government.

This workshop will be held this Wednesday, October 18, 2006.  Reservations can be made on PTC/MW’s website at www.ptcmw.org.  Please make your reservations before COB today to guarantee your space. 

New Member Special:  Anyone currently not a PTC/MW member who attends this workshop and who joins PTC/MW at this workshop will receive $10 off the workshop fee. 

Many thanks to Booz-Allen Hamilton who is PTC/MW’s featured exhibitor this month! 

Sincerely,

David Hamill
