I would like to invite each of you to the FOP holiday get together December 9th from 1930-2130. The FOP will be providing food and soft drinks in the cafeteria area of building #63 (where our normal meetings are). Please bring a guest and a gift in the $10.00 range if you want to be included in the gift exchange.

Please RSVP to Dan Masilionis so we can insure enough drinks and food are available. He can be contacted at DMASILIONIS@kumc.edu

I’m looking forward to seeing you all there.

Dear FOP Member,

The NFOP has created a new seminar at the overwhelming request of our members. The Grievance and Arbitration Seminar will be held, January 12-14, at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.

This seminar is for law enforcement representatives who administer Collective Bargaining Contracts or process grievances under agency policies. The seminar is hands-on training that uses a series of role-playing and classroom instruction. You will be involved in hands-on grievance processing and arbitration.

Attendees who would benefit most from this seminar are Law Enforcement Labor Leaders and Labor Representatives as well as Association and Union Boards of Directors who need to know the laws and rules governing the grievance and arbitration processes.

Below is a link to hotel registration site and the brochure containing seminar registration information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing you there.

The seminar brochure and hotel registration can be found at http://www.fop.net/servlet/display/calendar_event?id=181&user_id=-1&XSL=xsl_pages%2fpublic_calendar_individual.xsl&nocache=28032842
