...invite you to join us in an event to honor the legacy of Representative Connie
Morella, and to say thank you to three departing executive branch leaders who have served the highest ideals of public service. All of these individuals went beyond the call of duty to defend the merit system for federal employees and particularly for whistleblowers- those employees who exercise free speech rights to challenge abuses of power that betray the public trust.
Please join us in honoring this year's recipients:
Beth Slavet, former Chairman of the Merit Systems Protection Board
Elaine Kaplan, former Special Counsel and leader of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel
Tim Hannapel, Office of Special Counsel Deputy.
It is time to say thank you for a job well done,
and to honor some of the thickest skins in Washington, D.C.
Friday, June 27 at 6:00 p.m.
The Washington Home of Stewart R. Mott, 122 Maryland Avenue, NE
The Mott House is located beside the United States Supreme Court and across the street form the Hart Senate Office Building. The nearest metro stations are Union Station and Capitol South.
