Chapter Hosts 8th Annual Joint Warfighter IT Day

In September, the chapter hosted its 8th Annual Joint Warfighter IT Day. The content-rich day kicked off with a keynote address from Adm. Michelle Howard, USN, vice chief of naval operations, followed by a presentation from Janice Gover-Jones, chief information officer, Defense Intelligence Agency. Maj. Gen. Sarah Zabel, USAF, vice director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), then engagingly took to the podium to speak in detail about getting smart with DISA's pricing model as it relates to cost transparency, control and contracting efforts. She stated that “DISA is working closely with mission partners to help them better understand cost drivers, which shall enable sound purchasing decisions and ultimately result in cost savings.” A small-business networking session was included where small businesses were granted an opportunity to present their capabilities in an informal setting, and potential teaming opportunities were discussed.
