EVM CoEye March Meeting Announcement

The next meeting of the EVM Community of Interest (CoEye) is scheduled for 12pm to 2pm on 18 March 2009 at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).  The topic for this meeting is "Understanding the Steps to Get off the GAO High Risk List - and Stay off!".  By putting a significant amount of effort on improving processes and practices as well as focusing on program management, including EVM, in 2009 the FAA was able to get the air traffic control modernization program off the GAO High Risk list.  Based on his personal involvement and extensive efforts in making this happen, Bob Rovinsky, Director of IT Enterprise Services in the Office of the Chief Information Officer, FAA  will make this presentation. The presentation will focus on the activities and actions taken by the FAA to achieve this milestone.  This should be a very interesting presentation and important to all  agencies who face or could face GAO scrutiny and oversight.
