Be a CFC Specialist!

Want to learn more about the federal community while contributing to a great cause?  Consider volunteering as a CFC Specialist!  We need motivated, enthusaistic, and organized federal employees to support campaign coordinators in their efforts to raise funds for the CFC.  We ask for 10-20 hours per week from each Specialist for six weeks in the fall.  In return, Specialists receive training, professional development, networking with employees at other federal agencies, self-directed and independent CFC assignments, and, most importantly, the chance to use your skills to help raise money for CFC charities.

Interested?  Read the CFC Specialist Position Description and contact Ron Johnson at 503.326.2060 for more information!   

Mark Your Calendar for the 2009 Campaign Kick-off Rally!

This year the Pacific Northwest CFC will host a Campaign Kick-off Rally in downtown Portland to get our campaign started with a bang.  We will post more details as the event is finalized, but please mark your calendar for Thursday, October 1st at noon in Terry Schrunk Plaza (across the street from the Green-Wyatt federal building).  This event will be a chance for the federal community to come together in support of charitable giving and have some fun kicking off the campaign!  We hope to see you there!  Thank you to USAgencies Credit Union for sponsoring this event!

2009 CFC Theme:  "Make a Choice, Make a Difference"

The CFC Leadership Team is pleased to announce the 2009 CFC Theme:  "Make a Choice, Make a Difference."  The theme was selected from entries in the CFC Theme Challenge, in which federal employees in our region submitted their ideas for a campaign theme.  Congratulations to Arturo Borja of the Transportation Security Administration in Eugene, who came up with the winning slogan.  As we prepare for the 2009 campaign, please "make a choice" to "make a difference" by volunteering with the CFC as a Specialist, Coordinator, or Keyworker, or by contributing to your office's campaign.  Thank you to Arturo and to all the other coordinators and employees who submitted their ideas!
