OSPS E-News ~ Remember to Register for the Year-end Mini-conference

[Announcements from OSPS to the users of the Oregon State Payroll Application]

If you are planning to attend the OSPS Year-end Mini-conference on October 19 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the Executive Building, 155 Cottage St. NE, Salem, I would encourage you to register and take the survey in iLearnOregon by the end of the day on Wednesday, October 7. I plan to pull the number of registrations and session preferences first thing Thursday morning to develop a semi-final schedule.

When you go into iLearn, you will probably notice that there are now two sessions for the mini-conference. We are going to pilot an iLinc remote session for staff members who are outside the Salem area. It will only include the topics offered in Conference Room A. (I plan to post the semi-final schedule next Tuesday, Oct. 13.) Those who register for this session will receive an e-mail with an internet link and conference telephone number to participate. You need a computer with internet access and telephone. Because we just have 20 "seats," I encourage several people at one location (like the PSOB) to reserve a conference room and "attend" together.

As a reminder, here's the iLearnOregon web address: https://ilearn.oregon.gov/Kview/CustomCodeBehind/Base/Login/Login.aspx .
