A&D SIG and DAUAA Renew Cooperative Agreement On 1 January, 2007, Lynn Dyrdahl, A&D SIG Chair, and Bill Bahnmaier, Defense Acquisition University Alumni Association (DAUAA) President, signed a renewal of a Cooperative Agreement which had been in effect since 9 June 2004. The agreement stipulates that both organizations - having common professional and technical interests - will cooperate in planning and executing initiatives that enhance the professional development of their respective memberships, both in government and industry. Examples of this cooperation over the past three years have included the webinars conducted by the SIG, with participation by the DAUAA membership; and SIG members attending the annual DAU Acquisition Community Conference sponsored by the DAUAA. For the future, the agreement also calls for exploring the possibility of holding jointly sponsored seminars and meetings. |

 DAUAA
Acquisition Community Conference 17 April, 2007 - Capital/Northeast Campus of DAU DAUAA is sponsoring the DAU Acquisition Community Conference on 17 April, 2007 (see page 6 of the DAUAA Insight newsletter). The one-day conference will be hosted on the Capital/Northeast Campus of DAU and will be available on request as a video conference at the regional campuses. The topic for the conference is timely and important: Trends in the Acquisition and Program Management of Services in DoD. The conference will closely examine best practices as well as potential pitfalls in the acquisition of services. It will also address the conceptual changes that government and industry program managers, contracting officers, and other functional staff need to embrace in order to be successful in the services area. This particular theme was selected because a significant part of the DOD budget (at least 55%) is linked to the acquisition of services, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense has targeted this area in order to “discipline acquisition of services management and improve the cost effectiveness of commodity acquisition.” An action-packed agenda has been assembled featuring a Service Acquisition Executive Panel, an Industry Panel, two parallel breakout sessions or tracks, and a Congressional Panel. The Honorable James Filly, DUSD (A&T) will be the Keynote Speaker, and David Walker, the Comptroller General, will give a GAO perspective on DOD’s acquisition of services. To Register Registration fees have been set very low to encourage participation in this event. Acquisition professionals in both Government and industry are urged to attend and accrue four Continuous Learning Points towards acquisition training requirements. To register for the conference, personnel should visit the DAUAA web site at www.dauaa.org or call 1-800-755-8805. |
