Halfway Around the U.S. By the End of the Summer
Can you believe how quickly the end of summer is approaching? In many parts of the country, kids are back in school, college semesters are starting, and people are taking their remaining vacations before September arrives and it’s back to business.
Last week, I was on a flight to Las Vegas, where I was headed to train one of my favorite agencies. The wifi on the plane wasn’t working, so I made good use of my time and counted up all the states FELTG has been to in 2019. For a company that started 19 years ago with one two-day class organized on the back of a cocktail napkin, I’m amazed (and proud) that that already this year our instructors have been to 22 states and the District of Columbia, and there are several more remaining this year, including Advanced Employee Relations in New Orleans, LA. The farthest states we’ve traveled to are Alaska and Hawaii, and the places we’ve been to the most are (unsurprisingly) Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
If you want to get a jump on next year, FELTG is heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the first time ever in February. Thanks for joining us, whether from home or somewhere far away. We wouldn’t be who we are without you.
Take care,
Deborah J. Hopkins, FELTG President
