DAI Supports Operation Jump-Start
On February 8, DAI employees attended the Seventh Annual Operation Jump-Start charity event. This organization helps the soldiers of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom transition  to civilian careers through donations of business suits, gift cards and monetary contributions. We were excited to participate in this successful event and help give back to the military service members who give us so much through their selfless dedication and sacrifice. This event is sponsored by several organizations and companies which provide monetary and organizational support. |
Nashville Registration at Capacity!
When the Nashville VA Financial Management Training Conference registration site went live earlier this month, the DAI-managed support call center was immediately electric with calls for placement in classes and requests for confirmation of attendance. Within two days, over 1,500 people had registered and the conference reached capacity!
DAI is proud that news of the success of the two previous conferences in San Francisco and Dallas has spread throughout VA, and we are confident that Nashville will be another hit.
