FAI’s Vision for an Acquisition Alumni Network
In an ever changing acquisition workforce environment where the government is hiring new talent to fill current workforce gaps and staff Recovery Act programs, while seasoned talent retire, it is becoming increasingly more important to have a mechanism to track and tap into a talent pool of individuals who have a proven track record of success. FAI is proposing the development of an Acquisition Alumni Network to capitalize on the breadth of talent found in seasoned individuals who have served in Federal acquisition.
Whether retired from government service, transitioned to the private sector, or changed industry focus area, we believe that the subject matter expertise of individuals should not be lost; instead it can resourced to provide great benefit to the workforce today. The Acquisition Alumni Network is intended to promote the overall health of the workforce by creating a forum for former colleagues to stay connected; provide mentoring and leadership opportunities for the next generation of acquisition professionals; give a suite of best practices in acquisition; and provide an additional experienced talent pool for recruiting efforts.
