HAVE A HAPPY

HALLOWEEN!!
The Fifteenth Annual Blacks In
Government (BIG) National Training
Conference will be held in Los Ange
les, CA, August 16-21st, 1993, BIG
President Marion A*. Bowden announced
today. The theme of the conference is
“Creating a Climate of Change.”
Mr. Bowden said the theme re
flects the organization’s desire to focus
on the process by which change lakes
place-” How people are empowered
and government and the private sector
arc motivated to improve the condi
tions under which we live. If we are to
make it into the 21st century, we will
need to direct our energies and re
sources toward key goals. But that can
only take place in an atmosphere of
hope, com m itm ent to people, and
change,” he said. Bowden said that, in
the public sector, BIG is seeking to
encourage government officials to take
the leadership in achieving a higher
standard of public service.
“The Rodney King incident dra
matized that we still have a long way to
go to assure that all citizens are treated
equally before the law. Those were
policemen, civil servants, beating up
on King.
And those were other civil servants
watching them. That shouldn’t be hap
pening today, but we know it docs. And
the jury verdict following the beating
shows that there is widespread public
acceptance of disparate treatment for
minorities.
“Los Angeles has come to symbol
ize how far wc have to go to achieve a
society which can respond positively to
Rodney King’s entreaty, ‘why can’t we
all get along’,” Bowden said.
Wanda M. Heard, a human resources
professional employed by the Long
Beach Naval Shipyared has been named
conference chair. Ms. Heard is Second
Vice-President of national BIG. A char
ter member of the Los Angeles-Long
Beach Chapter, she has held a number of
elected and appointed offices in her chap
ter as well as at the regional level.
BIG is a nonprofit, nonpartisan or
ganization of government employees at
the Federal, State and local levels dedi
cated to promoting excellence in gov
ernment through equality of opportu
nity. More than 170 chapters represent
Federal, State, and local government
agencies around the country.
Early registration for the confer
ence is S225 for members and $260 for
nonmembers. After June 16, its $260 for
members and $295 for nonmembers,
