Keith’s note: this memo was on Friday to NASA LaRC employees: “Colleagues, In today’s weekly update, Acting Administrator Janet Petro shared that the Agency will soon offer voluntary separation tools, including a new Deferred Resignation Program (DRP), to eligible civil servant employees. Additional information will be shared on Monday, June 9, so please be on the lookout for an email to learn more.” (more below)

I know this will be a lot of information to process. You do not need to make a decision today, as the opt-in period will run for 45 days. I encourage you to take the time to evaluate your personal and professional circumstances as you consider what is best for you.

Langley’s Office of the Director is committed to continuing open and timely communication with you as we navigate these changes together. Join us at the next Town Hall on Tuesday, June 10 at 10 a.m. in the Reid Conference Center and via Teams, when we will share information and updates.

We anticipate information sessions on DRP and other voluntary separation tools for our civil servant employees to be announced soon.

Thank you for your continued commitment and professionalism. Please take some time this weekend to rest, recharge, and take care of yourself.

All the best,

Lisa
