OAPFF Educational Seminar
The annual
OAPFF educational seminar is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday,
November 10 and 11, 2008.
The location will be the Columbus Airport Marriott (same as last
several
years). Their website can be found at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cmham-columbus-airport-marriott/
If you
attended last year, there was a new format to the event that will be
followed this year as well. The first half of Monday will be a
general session with everyone in the same room and topics/updates
that are relevant to all. After a provided lunch, everyone will
have the opportunity to attend one of three breakout sessions. One
example is our legal counsel Henry Arnett spoke on rights and
responsibilities of union leaders last year.
The second day will consist of breakout sessions delivered by the
IAFF - PEP
staff. Students will be able to choose 3 sessions to attend that
will be
delivered by instructors brought in by the IAFF from all over the US
and
Canada.
