President’s Message...
We’re off to a great start!
I particularly appreciated Mr Billy Smith joining us
for our first general membership meeting.
He has been an icon in the Financial Management
Community. His military service culminated as the
Commandant of the Financial Management School
at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
I want to remind you who are new officer team is.
Many of these officers represent your
organizations, as well as, their functional areas. I
am very excited about our enthusiasm and desire
to make this ASMC Chapter as good as it can be.
Please contact any of our leadership team if you
