Successfully Transitioning from Active to Retired (STAR)
May 15, 2008, 6:30pm-9:00pm

The STAR Program is AFCEA NOVA's seminar series for Government/Military employees that are in the process of career transition. This after-work event is for our uniformed and government members who are either retiring or leaving government service for the civilian sector in the next 12-18 months, and is intended to build upon the information provided by the Government transition assistance programs. The event will offer attendees the opportunity to gain insights and lessons learned from others who have successfully made the transition. It also offers networking opportunities with program managers, hiring managers, and staffing professionals.

Pre-Registration for this event is now closed.  However, we should still have a few seats available for transitioning military/government employees.  Feel free to register with us onsite at the Windows Over Washington Restaurant, Doubletree Hotel, Crystal City.
