Keep Your Job—Lose the Commute Seminar 

Ever wonder why you have to work so hard to get to work?  More and more commuters are discovering a smarter way to work by teleworking.  Rather than commuting to the office every day, they work at home or at one of the 17 fully-equipped area telework centers one or more days a week.To learn more about how teleworking can improve your lifestyle, while keeping your boss happy, attend one of our FREE seminars.  This seminar is sponsored by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Government, through the Commuter Connections program, and the Washington Metropolitan Telework Centers.  Seminars will be held on the following weekday evenings in October at local telework centers.  All seminars are in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  The seminar is free.  Light refreshments will be served.
