Featuring Rich Brady, Chief Executive Officer, Society of Defense Financial Management
In this episode of the "All Things Financial Management" podcast, presented by the Society of Defense Financial Management (SDFM) and Guidehouse, Rich Brady, Chief Executive Officer of the Society of Defense Financial Management, joins host Ruba Elbasha to discuss the evolution of SDFM and its role in supporting the defense financial management community. Listen in conversation covering organizational transformation, changes to SDFM’s operating and events model, and the Department’s priorities related to auditability, modernization, and workforce efficiency.
SDFM's transformation journey
Rich Brady: Yeah, so that’s a great place to start. Thank you again, Ruba. I mean, obviously, there’s been a lot going on at SDFM over the last four and a half years now since I’ve been in the seat as the Chief Executive Officer. We’ve seen, obviously, the update to the CDFM exams; the introduction of the new CDFM healthcare certification; and we launched a new association management system. And, probably most visible to everybody, we changed our name from the American Society of Military Comptrollers to the Society of Defense Financial Management.
