IFMP Town Hall Draws a Crowd

Over 50 people crowded into the Building 1 Training Room last Tuesday to ask questions of members of the IFMP Team, and discuss the progress of IFMP. While most questions were about Full Cost Accounting, the topics included budgeting tools, handling vendors in the system, budget formulation service pools, and the procurement module. There was a lively exchange of ideas and information, and several participants stayed after the session to talk with the IFMP team individually.

"The session was very constructive," said Mark Walther, the IFMP Chief. "The participants have a lot on their minds. A session like this helps to alleviate a lot of anxiety because we can get to a fairly specific level of detail. What we couldn't answer in the session, we took the action item and will get back to everyone later."

In fact, the highlights of the afternoon's discussion -- and follow up to open questions -- will be posted to the IFMP website in the coming days. The next Town Hall session is being planned for the first week in December, immediately after the November 30th Go-Live of WebTADS.
