 Flexible Spending Accounts Clarification
If you have a flexible spending account, and still need to submit final expenses for Flex-Spend for 2002, you must contact the Human Resources Department by March 31 through the 1-800 number prompts 1,4,1. You must send all documentation by March 31, 2003 or you will lose the money in this account.

Any questions about this can be directed to the Human Resources Department.

We apologize for the confusion.

Government Affairs Trainings
FROM: Shane Larson, Director, AFA Government Affairs

The Government Affairs Department will be holding a number of regional trainings in order to encourage greater participation in local government affairs committees. We will be conducting the first training session on March 18th in Los Angeles. The other trainings will take place in Chicago April 8th at the Hyatt Rosemont and Washington (tentatively April 15.) These training sessions are replacing our annual Government Affairs Seminar.

Please use this online form (http://www.afanet.org/govt_affairs_trng_signup_form.htm) to RSVP for any of the trainings.

Instead of a Seminar in Washington, this year we will be maximizing our time spent on Capitol Hill by having a two-day lobby day to reach as many Congressional offices as possible. The lobby days are tentatively scheduled for April 29th and 30th. The lobby days will be open to any individuals who have attended previous Government Affairs Seminars or one of the regional training sessions.

These regional trainings will be designed to provide AFA members with the basic information on why it is important for them to be involved in the legislative and political process. It will contain the usual training information that we provide on the first day of the seminar ("Government 101," how to lobby, overview of AFA legislative issues, involvement in politics and a PAC overview.) It is primarily designed for AFA members who have an interest in the political and legislative process and want to be involved and have not had any previous experience in this area or who want a “refresher” on these skills.

The training will take place on one day from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. at an airport hotel, to give people the opportunity to fly in and out the day of the training, thereby avoiding overnight hotel costs as much as possible. We will provide a working lunch for the participants.

By building and maintaining a strong grassroots activist network, we will achieve great gains with our legislative and political goals. Please let me know if you have any questions. 1-800-424-2401, ext. 738.
