The meeting began with the administrative items as
follows:
- The
attendance was taken.
- The
draft meeting minutes of December 19th were reviewed and approved.
The meeting then moved on to discuss Council business as
follows:
- Dr. Lee and Victor Powers updated the Council
on the 8(a) SBA status. Victor stated that we are working this issue and
that SBA senior management had called again and that additional meetings
are to be held and that an update would be presented at the next Quarterly
Meeting. Dr. Lee added that the SBA really wants to do this but they are
now going through their wickets including SBA Legal.
- Victor Powers and Elmer Sembly III reviewed
the next Quarterly NITAAC Program Review Meeting schedule. Victor stated
that the Review would be held at the Marriott Pooks Hill facility on the
30th and would run from 1:30 to 3:00 for the CIO-SP2, IW2 and
ECS2. Then the ECS3 Kick-off meeting will be held from 3:00 To 4:00. This
event will be short do to facility constraints but that the review would
be broken down into Contract and Financial reviews, BMOCO marketing
updates and a discussion on the NITAAC Award efforts.
- Elmer Sembly III and June Evans updated the
progress on the WTOP NITAAC Hour stating that the first show went very
well and that their guess Vance Hitch was impressed with the show and
everybody had a great time. In preparation for the show an open dialog
took place so each guest could get comfortable with the series of current
issues and questions that were asked and answered during the show. It is
NITAAC’s intention to have at lease two government officials for future shows.
June mentioned that the show would repeat every other week with two new
shows each month. The archive button is now activated so shows can be
reviewed at the listener’s convenience. The program will be presented at
both the up coming NITAAC Quarterly Review and at the FOSE show. The
second show taping will be done on January 21st and would cover
Bio-Terrorism.
- Membership on the IAC was review by Esther
Burgess and she submitted a list of active IAC members. It was suggested
that new members be selected at the up coming Quarterly Review. It was then stated that an email would
be sent out to all contract holders requesting volunteers for the IAC and
that the new members would be announced at the Quarterly Review.
- Diane McLaughlin updated the council on the
NITAAC Award Committee’s progress stating Debbie May is compiling the
Award content for the web site. The Award Committee met before the IAC
meeting and reviewed the proposed speakers. Dr. Lee called several
candidates and found their schedules to be in conflict with the Award’s
date. Howard Ady suggested Jim Flysic (sp) as a draw but Dr. Lee
underscored that the candidate had to be a real strong candidate for
people to come to this year’s event. Melissa Chapman and Mark Foreman
names were mentioned. It was also recommended that Mike Casuie could MC
the Award Show adding to the draw with the chosen top-billing speaker.
Diane stated that the goal was for 20 tables and that incentives were
being worked on to help sell whole tables. A review of how many table tops
and costing was underway by Beverly Doukwah. The guest speaker will be
selected by COB Tuesday and will be announce at the January 30th
Quarterly review. A goal for all other Award final decisions would also be
made by the 30th.

Elmer Sembly III stated that since the running of the HLS
Symposium series the BMOCO office had
be heavily involved with Congressman Kurt Weldon and have talked about the
IT 2458 bill submitted that would give
States access to the NITAAC GWAC like contracts cutting down on federal paper
work. The GSA is also stepping out on this effort.

2003.
