The Time to Sign up for the CFMA Conference is NOW!

By -
It’s hard to believe but the Annual CFMA Conference is only weeks away!  It is so exciting to think that this fantastic event is happening here in Phoenix, at the JW Marriot Desert Ridge June 3–7.   


If you haven’t already heard, the chapter is offering big financial support to make it possible for you to attend and take advantage of the conference being held here in Phoenix.  Not only have we locked in early-bird pricing all the way up to the event, but we are also offering a $350 subsidy to members – reducing registration cost to $745 for 5 days of non-stop learning and networking.  Register Here and enter the code EBVOS0745 to get this great price.  BUT – act soon – after May 15 we will reduce this subsidy to $175.  Click here for full information and other chapter subsidy options. 

It’s important to everyone that you register as soon as you possibly can.  CFMA National is planning for a strong showing from our chapter and their attendee planning is affected greatly by our member’s attendance – we don’t want to be the annoying party guests that don’t RSVP until the night before the party!  In addition to National’s planning, at the chapter level we are working to plan events for our members who are attending to make the experience as worthwhile as possible.  The sooner we have a complete list of attendees, the better job we can do in this planning, and the better your experience will be.   

If you’re still on the fence about attending, here’s some reasons you should take the leap and sign up:
-          Amazing education sessions – including tracks for HR, Risk Management, Subcontractors – there really is something for everybody.  Check out the entire list of sessions

-          Fantastic networking with every type of vendor and service provider that a CFM could ask for – a great opportunity to meet, talk with and research solutions for your company. 

-          Social opportunities morning through night – the connections that can be made with the person sitting next to you in a thought provoking session or friendships made during one of the included dinners, networking hours or parties – will bring you benefits for years to come. 

For more information and reasons to attend check out the Justification Toolkit.

The VA’s billion dollar boondoggle

A long-planned Veterans Affairs hospital being built in Denver, already hundreds of millions of dollars over its $604 million budget, has turned into a billion-dollar boondoggle for the agency. The contractor, Kiewit-Turner, blames the VA for ignoring agreements to submit plans that can be built within budget and has asked a federal board overseeing civilian contract disputes to let the company walk away from the job. Problems with the building emerged in January, when letters between the builder and the VA revealed the project to be running some $200 million over budget, with Kiewit-Turner blaming a pricey design that was only partially completed by the time it entered into the contract. The two sides subsequently agreed — via a handwritten agreement — to build the hospital within the original budget, with the VA in charge of submitting a new, pared-down design reflecting a number of cost-saving measures. But in a July 8 complaint to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals,
