Goddard Individuals To Be Honored at IFM Program Awards Ceremony

All are invited to attend a special Integrated Financial Management Program (IFMP) Awards Ceremony in the James Webb Memorial Auditorium at NASA HQ on Thursday, September 26, beginning at 8:30 a.m. to honor individuals with high achievement in implementing the IFMP module Position Description management. A breakfast reception will follow immediately after the ceremony.

PDM streamlines and automates the position classification system process. It will save managers' and human resources specialists' valuable time when creating and editing position descriptions. Goddard led the development of PDM and had a dual responsibility as a receiving Center. Several Goddard individuals have been singled out to receive IFM Program Awards for their excellent work on implementing PDM across all NASA centers this past summer.

Agency Program Awards will be given to: Richard Ryan, PDM Project Manager and Keith Lowe, PDM Functional Lead who will accept Platinum Awards. Denise Davis, Agency Change Management Lead and Diane Bittner, Agency Technical Lead who will accept Gold Awards. Goddard Human Resources specialists Lori Moore and Nelson Rodriguez will join other members of a PDM Agency-Wide Process Team who will be honored with Bronze Awards. Among the NASA civil servants who will accept Contribution Awards are: Joseph Lanasa, Cheryl Powell, Maureen Mathews, Walt Flournoy and Eugene Davidoff. These Goddard civil servants will join others awardees from all NASA Centers in a celebration of their achievement.

If you plan to attend, RSVP to Patricia Pahlavani, IFMP Corporate Change Management Office, (202) 358-0863 or via e-mail at ppahlava@hq.nasa.gov.
