 I wonder if I could have registered and attended?

i don't get it... does this thread imply that we all work for the .gov and that our admins are black?
 
 can't say that's the case over here.

Points taken. Perhaps I mistitled the thread. I guess if it doesn't apply to you, there's no point in replying.
 
 I don't know enough about this conference to make any sort of definitive comments (Is it an educational experience or simply a social gathering?). However, on the surface it does seem like excessive gov't spending to send our part time administrative assistant on an all expenses paid trip to NYC.
 
 Not completely unlike the case of the 55ish (white) admin in my wife's office going to a "leadership conference" in NYC for a week. Why exactly would a 55 yo admin need to attend a leadership conference?

what?  you mean the government is spending taxpayer money by sending employees on all expense paid conferences that are unneccessary and with little to no accountability?  why, i've never heard of such a thing.
