Patricia McGinnis, Rob Moore, and Perry Pidgeon Hooks

Friday October 9, 2009

Listen to AFGE’s “Inside Government” radio show to hear White House Special Advisor Patricia McGinnis and former Transportation Security Officer (TSO) and AFGE activist Ron Moore. Moore, now a special interest columnist for Washington, D.C.’s Examiner.com, recently wrote a book of poetry titled “Washington Cats.”

McGinnis, who advises the Obama administration on leadership programs for presidential appointees, will discuss qualities that embody good government leaders and building successful federal programs.

Moore will share his book of poetry, “Washington Cats,” written during a very trying period in his career. Moore also will discuss AFGE’s commitment to securing collective bargaining rights for TSOs, and how the union stood by him during his time of need.

Hooks Book Events President Perry Pidgeon Hooks then will discuss her fall lineup of public author events, which include Deepak Chopra, Steven Levitt, and David Baldacci.
