A series of discussion groups, led by subject matter experts (SME).  Participants will have the opportunity to discuss current topics in Financial Management with the SME leader.  Topics cover a wide range of subjects, current events, and trends in Defense Financial Management.  Each Roundtable discussion is offered three times and participants will self-select which to attend. 
 

Round Table Discussions

We have a great group of experts from across the Department, ready to talk! Forty of the most knowledgeable people in the Department of Defense will lead you through a discussion of some of the hottest, most timely issues.  They will talk with you, answer your questions, and, just maybe, solve the mysteries you have wondered about, but didn’t know who to ask.  (Did we mention Official Representation Funds (ORF)?) Some of our topics are similar to the full-blown workshops offered during the PDI – But in the Round Table Discussions, you will talk directly to the expert in a small group of 10.  These are not repeats of the seminars. We offer each topic three times and you select which Round Table to attend. No sign-up is necessary.  Just come to the discussion that you like!
