Planning With Campagna
DAI's support of The Campagna Center has kicked off with the Jeans for Beans program (see past newsletters) raising over $1000 for the Alexandria-based charity. Planning for the rest of 2011 is also progressing, as DAI has outlined specific events the company will support as a whole and identified numerous opportunities for DAI employees to volunteer and/or donate to the cause.

Welcome to the June edition! DAI received some exciting news this month when we were awarded a BPA as part of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) eFAST program. This will give us a fantastic opportunity to pursue work within FAA, and we are thrilled. Also this month, our new office renovation is complete and many of our employees have moved into a gorgeous new space on the fifth floor. This edition also features our expanded recruiting efforts, updates on successful training programs delivered in Orlando and Dallas and more about DAI's work in the community! As always, thank you for supporting the DAI Advisor, and remember, past editions can always be accessed on our archive page.

DAI Conducts Dallas and Orlando Training and Conference Management
DAI's Instructional Design team traveled to Orlando, Florida to help with the roll-out of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) new Talent Management System (TMS). DAI created and delivered an intense, week-long training class aimed at educating VA trainers and subject matter experts on the intricacies of TMS.

DAI staff also traveled to Dallas to manage two conferences in the last month, the Minority Veterans Program Coordinator conference, designed to promote activities aimed at minority Veterans and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) National Conference focusing on updates to laws governing EEO hiring practices and new hiring tools. DAI was responsible for full lifecycle conference support, from designing and managing the conference to developing and delivering a full complement of program materials. Feedback from both events was overwhelmingly positive, and we are looking forward to our next conference with VA in Orlando in July.
