Each month in 2024, OGE will host offerings (virtual and in-person) to build knowledge and skills ethics officials need to successfully navigate the periods prior to and after a Presidential election.  All the content ethics officials would receive over a week-long event will be delivered throughout the year closer to the time that they are likely to need to apply it. Additionally, OGE will offer opportunities to exchange program practices and build their professional network.
