WGS Offerings for Spring 2013
Wednesday
ATTENTION Women and Hispanic Farmers and Ranchers
 |
| Click on image for enlarged view |
ATTENTION Hispanic and Women Farmers and Ranchers: Between 1981 and 2000, certain groups of Americans were discriminated against by some USDA offices around the country when they applied for agricultural/farm loans. It is Agriculture Secretary Vilsack's goal to right those wrongs, turn the page, and move forward.
The United States Government
has established a Claims Process to make available up to $1.33 billion
or more to farmers who alleged discrimination by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) based on being female, or based on being Hispanic, in
making or servicing farm loans during certain periods between 1981 and
2000. If you qualify and submit a timely claim, you could receive an
award of up to $50,000 or up to $250,000 in cash, depending on the
evidence that you submit. USDA will also provide a total of up to $160
million in debt relief to successful Claimants who currently owe USDA
money for eligible farm loans. Successful Claimants may also receive an
additional amount, equal to 25% of the combined cash award plus the
principal amount of debt relief, to help pay federal taxes that may be
owed.
The new claims
process, which is entirely voluntary, is an important step towards correcting the
wrongs of the past and strengthening the USDA for the future.
If you, or anyone you know may qualify for this process, please apply and spread the word. The USDA hopes to reach everyone who may have been impacted. For further information and to file a claim through the Hispanic and Women Farmers and Ranchers Claims Process visit
Those Eligible Must File Claims No Later Than
March 25, 2013

"Ouch,
that stereotype hurts!" concerns the complications of communicating in
today's diverse workplace. Whether you are a supervisor, project manager,
faculty, or staff, communicating respectfully is a "must" to be
successful in your job. Biased,
stereotypical or otherwise poor communication undermines morale, teamwork, and
productivity. In this training you will
learn the skills to enhance your effectiveness and influence by choosing to
communicate in a bias-free, inclusive way.
Ms. Sherry
Hatcher joined the Johnson Space Center Office of Equal Opportunity and
Diversity team in July, 2008. She has an extensive EEO background, serving as
an EEO Specialist in the Civil Rights Regional Office for the USDA Forest
Service, EEO Director, United States Army Alaska, and EEO Specialist Fort
Wainwright, Alaska. Sherry began her EEO career as a collateral duty counselor
and trainer while working as a training coordinator for the Army. Ms. Hatcher
currently serves as the Complaints Manager at JSC.
Ms. Hatcher
claims Texas as home, but has lived most of her adult life throughout the U.S.
and overseas. She began her federal service as a DoDDS teacher in Misawa Japan
and has held positions in Omaha, Nebraska, Crete, Greece, Cheyenne, Wyoming,
Dayton, Ohio and Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska.
Ms. Hatcher
graduated from North Texas State University with a B.S. in Education and
attended Graduate school at Texas Women's University in Denton, TX. She taught
gifted and talented education before entering the federal service.

Senator Begich Urges Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act
“It’s not every day that we get to vote on a law that actually saves lives, but this one does. The Senate needs to send the simple and important message that Alaskans and all Americans will not tolerate violence against women, children, and families. We must do our part to reduce domestic violence and sexual assault, it’s time for us to step up and make sure this happens now. I look forward to casting my vote for the reauthorization hopefully very soon,” Begich said.
