More than three years after the General Services Administration’s infamous Las Vegas conference featuring clowns, mind readers and bike-building morale exercises, federal employees are still feeling the effects of strict policies designed to prevent a repeat. In many cases, those policies mean several layers of agency approval before feds are allowed to attend any conference. Several science and technology organizations are telling agency leaders and Congress that those policies are a serious overcorrection to over-the-top agency conferences of years gone by, and they’re hindering the careers of federal scientists and other professionals. Dr. Sandra Magnus, executive director of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, talked with Jared Serbu on Federal Drive with Tom Temin about the dropoff in conference attendance by federal employee and why she thinks the oversight pendulum has swung too far.

Maj. Gen. Linda Urrutia-Varhall is the Air Force's assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. She's one of the most senior female officers in the U.S military and throughout her career, she's been the first woman in most of the jobs she held as she rose though the ranks of the Air Force. But Urrutia-Varhall said that particular distinction wasn't something she paid much attention to over the last 30 years. In a recent appearance on Federal News Radio’s Women of Washington, Urritia-Varhall talked about her career and why many women in the military opt-out of career paths that could lead to high-ranking jobs like the one she holds now.
