President’s Message...
We’re off to a good start this year.
Our highlights from this last Quarter:
National PDI in Anaheim, CA! Great
opportunity for ASMC-ers to network and
learn best practices from throughout DoD.
Your Sandhills Chapter received the coveted
5-Star Chapter award ! Thanks for your work!
COL (R ) Tim Wiseman’s discussion of Risky
Business Areas in his environment of East
Carolina University. Notably, we are not so
different in our approaches to mitigate risk!
Finally, I am extremely proud to announce that
our Chapter is hosting Dr. Mary-Sally Matiella
as our speaker at the October Monthly
Luncheon. We don’t want to miss this
tremendous opportunity to hear from the top
civilian in our financial management
community!
