2. The CG's Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) supports
and encourages participation in affinity group symposiums in an
effort to increase the retention of a diverse and talented
workforce. These events are valuable professional development
opportunities that provide a forum for mentoring, networking,
and optimizing career success. All employees (Active Duty,
Reserves, Civilians, and Auxiliary) are encouraged to attend.
3. Attendance by participants can be unit funded via official
travel or via permissive orders. COMDT (CG-1D1) must provide a final
count of all USCG participants. Whether on official orders or
self-funded, civilian employees' attendance including travel time is
considered work time. For civilian employees, supervisory approval
to attend during work time (including a reasonable amount of travel
time) must be indicated by email and reflected in the remarks
section of the employee's timecard. The remarks must state the
employee is approved work and travel time to attend the FAPAC
Conference during the employee's scheduled tour of duty on 08-11
May 2023. The employee's attendance at events outside of
the employee's scheduled tour of duty is not required and is at the
employee's discretion; therefore, overtime and compensatory time for
work cannot be approved. Attendance by participants can be unit
funded via official travel or via permissive orders.
4. Interested employees must request attendance through their chain
of command for unit-level approval. Employees approved to attend
by their command should notify: Duy.Lam@uscg.mil and
copy HQS-SMB-CG127-Conference@uscg.mil by 02 May, 2023, with the
following information:

6. CO/OICs are encouraged to promote and support the professional
development of all government employees. COMDT (CG-1D1) will assist
by funding registration fees with highest priority given to junior
members and first-time attendees. Registration fees per person are
