Conference Centers on Defense Acquisition

In April, chapter volunteers Brian Osborne, Casey Weinstein, Julie Eitniear, Cheryl Nicewaner, Terry Holt, Danna Plewe and Dave Hart worked at the chapter's booth at the Defense Department's Acquisition Insight Days Conference. Richard Novak, chapter board member, coordinated the event. The conference provided a one-stop opportunity for the defense acquisition work force throughout the Midwest and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB), Ohio, to receive updates on the latest acquisition, technology and logistics topics, attend workshops, and learn more about acquisition and technology requirements. The chapter also hosted its April luncheon with speaker Jack Blackhurst, director, Human Effectiveness Directorate, 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB.
