References. None. Background. a. Per the approval of the majority of Section 401 grantees, the Department of Labor reserved three tenths of one percent (.3 percent) of the PY 97 program funds to assist small grantees with travel and per diem costs to attend the National Indian and Native American Employment and Training Conference in Spokane, Washington. This bulletin provides the final list of grantees eligible for travel and per diem reimbursement for one staff person to attend the Spokane national TAT conference. b. Each grantee should make their airline and hotel arrangements through Ms. Charlene Keller with the California Indian Manpower Consortium (CIMC). To save money, all reservations will be handled through a single travel agent retained by CIMC. Tickets will be mailed to the grantee staff designated to attend. Any travel arrangements not authorized by DINAP and made through CIMC will not be reimbursed. This is necessary in order to keep expenses within the fixed amount of resources available to support small grantee travel. c. Reimbursement will cover local transportation expenses (POV mileage, parking, taxis, etc.), lodging expenses, meals, and incidental expenses. Airfare and conference registration fees will be paid for one staff person only per grantee on the attached list. Should a grantee named on the attached list send more than one person to the Spokane conference, the grantee will be responsible for all expenses except for those of the one person whose arrangements were made through CIMC. d. Local taxi fares, rental cars, long distance calls, room service, movie rentals, etc. WILL NOT be reimbursed. Federal travel rates in effect at the time of the conference will be applied to all reimbursement claims. e. CIMC will provide the appropriate travel reimbursement forms (travel voucher) at the conference. All travel vouchers must be submitted prior to August 28, 1998, to be eligible for reimbursement of allowable expenses. Action Required. Grantees listed on the attachment should contact CIMC immediately to make their airfare and hotel arrangements. Questions. Questions should be addressed directly to Ms. Charlene Keller with CIMC, Inc. at 916-920-0285.

Background: The SCSEP sponsors and State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs), along with the American Legion, have traditionally provided the local leadership for celebrating National Older Workers Employment Week. The week provides the opportunity to focus on the many positive contributions that older workers in general, and SCSEP enrollees in particular, have made in the past as well as those that they will make in the future. This year, President Clinton has signed a Proclamation declaring National Older Workers Employment Week to be March 8 through March 14, 1998, again demonstrating the Administration s continued commitment to the employment of older workers. Prime Time Awards: Green Thumb, Inc., with participation of the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging, will hold a "Prime Time Awards" ceremony at the White House Visitors Center on Thursday March 12, 1998 to honor outstanding achievements of older workers representing all fifty States and U.S. territories. During this awards ceremony Green Thumb will also honor America s oldest worker. The President's signed proclamation and posters prepared by Green Thumb for the Department, for National Older Workers Employment Week, will be sent to you under seperate cover. The Department encourages you to use these as you plan your activities to celebrate National Older Workers Employment Week. Action Required: SCSEP sponsors should: (A) Distribute copies of the attached Proclamation to their local offices and program sponsors so that they are received prior to March 8; (B) Promote efforts to educate employers on the benefits of hiring and retaining older workers; (C) Undertake efforts to recognize the contributions made by older workers, and to facilitate and promote their continued participation in the workforce, e.g., through job fairs, Older Worker luncheons, newspaper releases, and radio and TV broadcasts emphasizing the contributions of successful older workers; (D) Coordinate with SESAs and their local offices, One-Stop career centers and with Job Training Partnership Act State Liaisons and Service Delivery Areas. The Governor s office and other SCSEP sponsors should work together to further foster community efforts to recognize, promote and celebrate older workers in the States and local communities; and (E) Share examples of products developed and successful experiences which may be helpful to others in the future. Inquiries: Questions should be directed to your Federal Representative at (202) 219-5904.
