  As you may recall, the Department of Personnel
  Administration (DPA) surveyed departments regarding their
  interest in DPA-sponsored workshops on the Family and
  Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA).  This memo provides
  information regarding the upcoming workshops and
  registration procedures.
  
  In response to the information received, we have scheduled
  FMLA workshops over the next six to eight weeks at various
  locations throughout the State.  These workshops will
  provide information on FMLA implementation, coordination
  with other laws (California Family Rights Act
  [CFRA]/Pregnancy Disability Leave), and includes resource
  materials to help departments comply with the Federal and
  State regulations.  The sessions are intended for those
  individuals who have central responsibility for
  administering FMLA/CFRA.  This program is not intended for
  front-line supervisors.
  
  The tuition for the workshop is $25 per participant.  The
  tuition is nonrefundable; however, substitutions will be
  accepted.  The workshops will be at the following
  locations:
