Delegates heard from a variety of speakers, including the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Linda Springer, who thanked the delegates for NARFE's support of OPM's attempt to install a new system to not only speed up retirement processing, but to expedite changes made by federal annuitants. She noted that with 60 percent of the federal work force set to retire in the next 10 years, OPM is looking for ways to allow retired federal employees to return to work on a full- or part-time basis.
Judy Park, NARFE director of legislation, urged all federal retirees and employees to get involved in the political process and vote on Election Day. She noted that NARFE's primary legislative goal for the 110th Congress, which convenes in January, will be to protect the earned benefits already enjoyed by federal retirees.
