The CP 26 portion of the brief will be primarily focused on Resource Management that CPs 26, 10 and 50, stand shoulder to shoulder with CP11 in this critical responsibility.  The overarching emphasis of the CP 26 portion of the brief is on shared competencies as Resource Managers and how we can bridge the gaps between the two our communities.  The briefing is structured in 3 parts:  Tools (for civilians); CP26 Professional Development; and Mentoring.

The DoD FM Certification Program is well underway and about to reach its first milestone for those individuals launched in 2014.  This workshop will provide users key information for achieving FM Certification and information on Continuing Education Training (CETs) as well for individuals who have completed the initial certification. The Proponency DoD FM Certification Team will highlight critical information about the program to include proper documentation, helpful tools, what supervisors should be looking for as we reach this first milestone.  The team will also assist in training individuals how to navigating through the DoD FM Learning Management System (FM LMS) to get certified.
