2008 IAWP Spring Conference The 2008 IAWP Spring Conference is scheduled for Thursday, May 15th and Friday, May 16th, 2008, at the Days Inn Penn State. Beginning at 1:00 pm on Thursday, the educational program will cover a well-balanced mix of both work-related and personal well-being topics. Work related topics include updates of Department workforce program initiatives, particularly the UC Modernization System (UCMS) and Commonwealth Workforce Development System (CWDS). The State Civil Service Commission will offer another segment on issues that can affect one’s career path as a PA State employee. The latter topics include stress management and nutritional health at work. There are plenty of things to do, while you’re not at the conference. The hotel is in State College, which is the home of The Pennsylvania State University. We recommend stopping by the Penn State Creamery for some ice cream, maybe a Peachy Paterno? If you enjoy nature, stop by the Arboretum at Penn State. If you’re looking to shop, the Nittany Mall is nearby, along with all of the great shops along College and Beaver Avenues in downtown State College.
