Contract Wins Continue

DAI is pleased to announce a number of recent contract wins! The first, in partnership with Serco, is a contract to support the National Security Personnel System Transition Office (NSPS TO) with communications and training products and services associated with the design and implementation of its human resources initiatives. Also with Serco, DAI will provide life cycle conference management and communications support for the 2012 Defense Employee and Labor Relations (DELRS) Symposium. This will be DAI's fifth year supporting this important conference for employee and labor relations professionals from DoD and across the federal government.


In partnership with FMP,
DAI will continue its support of MyCareer@VA, a program designed to ensure that VA employees and potential hires have access to the functional training, experience and education necessary to enhance their job performance, career progression and development as multifunctional leaders. This follow-on work will include the addition of new communications staff members, onsite support and development and implementation of training.  

 

Finally, in partnership with Crosby Marketing, DAI will provide communications and human capital support to the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). This is DAI's first win within VHA, and it is a joint effort between the communications and human capital practices. Work will involve conducting and reporting on interviews designed to identify perceptions among veterans regarding the VA and health benefits, encouraging veteran participation in VA services.

Power IT Down
DAI to Power IT Down! 

DAI is excited to participate in the 2011 Power IT Down Day, scheduled for August 26. The Professional Services Council and other organizations sponsor this event which encourages government agencies, the military, and the industries that serve them to power down their computers, printers, monitors and other gadgets at the end of the work day in an effort to help the government reduce its energy consumption. The savings are then used to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, helping those in need after service to our country. For more info, visit the Power IT Down website at www.poweritdown.org.

DAI Production/Traffic Consultant, Jennifer Fisher

Jennifer brings significant experience to DAI, including 17 years in production, circulation and distribution management for magazines, catalogs and collateral marketing/event components. Throughout her career, she has served a variety of private industry clients, most recently as Director of Operations for Atlantic Media, where she oversaw the business side of their production, distribution and email marketing activities.

Because of her background, Jennifer has an eye for finding efficiencies--time and cost--that can narrow down that bottom line. Read the full article here.
