ASMC – Resource Library

Over 4,500 defense financial management professionals converged on St. Louis (and 1,500 logged in online) to attend the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) Professional Development Institute (PDI), May 29–June 2, 2023. As ASMC celebrated its 75th anniversary, Management Concepts also acknowledged its 50th anniversary and had the honor of supporting PDI 2023 as the jubilee sponsor. Throughout the week PDI offered a variety of learning and networking opportunities, with Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM) training courses, mini-courses, sessions, an exhibit hall, receptions, and additional events and activities for ASMC members. Although it would be impossible to recount all of these in full, we’ll recap the highlights and welcome comments from other attendees.

For the first time since 2019, the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) National Capital Region (NCR) Professional Development Institute (PDI) took place in person on March 9, 2023 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. The event was abuzz with excitement after two virtual NCR PDIs in 2021 and 2022, and the crowd of over 1,000 defense financial management (FM) professionals took full advantage of connecting face-to-face after a long absence, between sessions, at a seated lunch, and throughout the busy exhibit hall.

The process of defense budgeting is in need of reform. For more than 60 years, both houses of Congress have been working together to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) annually, which outlines the budget for the Department of Defense (DoD) for the upcoming fiscal year.

From February 16-17, 2023, Management Concepts staff had the pleasure of returning to San Antonio, TX to support the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) Alamo City Chapter Professional Development Symposium (PDS) as a Diamond Sponsor, presenting a session as well as greeting ASMC members at our booth in the exhibit hall. Several hundred attendees gathered at the education center at Fort Sam Houston to attend sessions and earn continuing education credit, explore the exhibit hall, and network with other defense financial management professionals.

On November 16, 2021, Management Concepts Subject Matter Expert, E. Steven Butler gave a presentation to the Quantico and Southern Georgia chapters of the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC). The following is a summary of key points that Mr. Butler shared on the subject of his experience in leadership in the federal government.

Management Concepts was proud to support the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) 2021 Professional Development Institute (PDI) as a Diamond Sponsor and Corporate Gold Member. Despite the physical distance between over 5,400 attendees, their camaraderie of spirit and unity of purpose was evident throughout this very first virtual PDI.
