Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Annual Report.Message from the Executive Director This document represents the first Annual Report for the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC ASMC American Suzuki Motor Corporation ASMC American Society of Military Comptrollers ASMC Association of Sales & Marketing Companies ASMC Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference ASMC Area Support Medical Company ASMC American Small Manufacturers Coalition ). During the history of ASMC, we have kept the general membership informed by using a variety of techniques. Most recently, that has included presenting a report from the Executive Director at the national Professional Development Institute and posting financial statements on our Web site. These techniques have worked well; however, it is now time to make a step forward in our governance process and produce a formal annual report. In the subsequent pages you will see a comprehensive review of the programmatic success and financial status of ASMC. The primary purpose is to provide our membership with full disclosure of the status of your Society. A secondary purpose is to provide a benchmark against which we can measure our progress. The success of our Professional Development Institutes, Certification Program, and other activities is due primarily to a unique mixture of volunteer leadership, support from sponsoring commands and activities, and competent staff. We must maintain and improve this synergy. ASMC has made and continues to make a positive contribution to the professional development and personal welfare of the financial management workforce in the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard. We are proud of that. Feel free to share this document and discuss it with interested parties. We are constantly seeking better ways to serve our membership, and we welcome your suggestions. Thanks for your support. James F.

The National Council meets annually at the Professional Development Institute. The Executive Committee provides oversight and guidance to the Executive Director. The Committee meets approximately six times during the fiscal year. Its membership includes representation from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), each military service, and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), an agency of the United States Department of Defense, provides finance and accounting services for the military and other members of defense.

Standing Committees The work of the Society is greatly enhanced by the standing committees. Standing committee chairpersons include the following: Awards Committee--Ms. Donna M. Burrows Editorial Board--Dr. Ron Adolphi Corporate Advisory Committee--Mr. Barry L. Haas Strategic Planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people.

Tyler and Mr. Tom Steinberg Member Services Committee--Mr. Guy Gray ASMC staff currently consists of eight full-time and three part-time associates. All staff members are committed to customer service in all aspects of their work. Currently, Jennifer Sizemore, Barbara Gibson, and James McCall have given more than 10 years of service to the organization. Membership and Chapter Development ASMC individual membership consists of active and associate members who are now or have been employed in military comptrollership. Corporate members are the corporate entity, and designees include the number of persons sponsored by the corporations. Life members are individuals who have been in good standing for 20 consecutive years. Honorary membership is conferred on those persons making a significant contribution to military comptrollership and/or to the goals and objectives of ASMC. Despite sharp reductions in the civilian and military strength of the Department of Defense, ASMC has continued to grow. Current membership of 18,136 represents approximately 33 percent of the DoD financial management workforce. The Armed Forces Comptroller is widely read throughout the workforce, and ASMC training events are open to members and nonmembers alike. The continued growth in individual membership has been the result of successful recruiting at the chapter level, reinforced by national membership campaigns. The recently completed "Soar to New Heights" campaign resulted in the recruitment of 600 new members. Forty-eight members were awarded Eagle Pins for their recruitment efforts. ASMC is organized into 145 chapters located around the world. These chapters range in size from large chapters of 500 to 1,500 members in locations such as Washington, Hampton Roads Hampton Roads, roadstead, 4 mi (6.4 km) long and 40 ft (12.2 m) deep, SE Va., through which the waters of the James, Nansemond, and Elizabeth rivers pass into Chesapeake Bay. , and San Antonio San Antonio (săn ăntō`nēō, əntōn`), city (1990 pop. 935,933), seat of Bexar co., S central Tex., at the source of the San Antonio River; inc. 1837. , to small chapters in locations like Fort Riley Fort Riley, U.S. military post, 5,760 acres (2,331 hectares), NE Kans., on the Kansas River; est. 1852 to protect travelers on the Santa Fe Trail from attack by Native Americans. , Kansas. Average chapter size is approximately 50 members. There is no regional structure between the National Headquarters and each chapter. Chapter presidents are fully responsible for leadership at their level and for conducting informative and stimulating training programs. Leadership training is provided at national events. Corporate membership is a rapid-growth area: 161 corporations are members. Corporate members participate in all facets of Society operations including enhancing training and underwriting professional development activities. Corporations are not represented with a seat on the National Executive Committee. However, corporate views are expressed via the Corporate Advisor Committee, and corporate designees hold elected offices throughout the Society.
