Stay or Go: Considering the “Deferred Resignation” Offer, Retirement Options, and Potential Options
Following several executive orders potentially eliminating civil service protections, stated plans to enact widespread reductions in force, and the recently e-mailed “deferred resignation” offer, federal employees must weigh whether to try to stick it out with the federal government, accept the offer, and/or consider and time their retirement, if eligible. NARFE federal benefit expert Tammy Flanagan will walk you through what you need to consider when making decisions regarding your career and future.

Advocacy Priorities Amid Emerging Threats and Historic Success
Hear the latest regarding NARFE’s advocacy priorities from John Hatton, NARFE’s Staff Vice President for Policy and Programs. John will review the progress achieved on NARFE’s advocacy priorities over the last couple of years, and preview what NARFE’s priorities will be as a new Congress and new Administration are sworn in. Learn about emerging threats to the federal community arising from legislative threats and executive actions, and how NARFE – and its citizen-advocate members – will push back and fight against wrong-headed policies.
