Meritorious: ManTech International, Washington Chapter
For the past decade, ManTech International, through its Definitive Logic acquisition, has been an avid supporter of the American Society of Military Comptroller’s mission. They are a Corporate Gold Sponsor at the national level and support of key ASMC events. During the National PDI in 2023, they sponsored a booth and moderated a panel discussion. ManTech is dedicated to ASMC’s goals, as evidence through support and sponsorship of the Data Analytics and Decision Support conference. They led sessions at this virtual conference, focusing on the use of modern BI tools to help CFO leadership make data-informed decisions.
ManTech’s Mike Monson serves as a member of the Editorial Board for the Armed Forces Comptroller Journal, serves on the Corporate Advisory Group and is currently an active board member. Mike Monson, as the Chapter Newsletter Creator/Editor and a member of the Washington Chapter Board of Executives, revamped the Washington Chapter newsletter in 2016 and has since served as its editor of the bi-monthly publication. The Washington Chapter newsletter has been recognized by others as setting the standard for effective chapter communication. Additionally, he has been a key leader in maintaining the Washington Chapter’s 5-star status, setting an example for other chapters to follow. ManTech’s Chris Stockel has served on the Washington Chapter’s Executive Board for the past three years and provided support by not only attending meetings but also executing tasks.
In addition to our continued support of the NCR and National PDIs, ManTech International has stepped in to support key initiatives that drive the development of fellow professionals and impact the DoD community. Case in point, they recognized the potential of the PPBE Reform Committee. Shortly after it was announced, we drafted an open letter to the Committee highlighting key opportunities for reform and published this letter. The response was to have ManTech become a member of the industry shadow committee organized by ASMC and provide direct input into the Committee’s research and study. Represented by Michael Conlin (Definitive Logic Chief Technology Officer at the time), they were instrumental at building the momentum and structure for AMSC’s PPBE Task Force in response to the Congressional Commission for PPBE Reform.
