the changing roles of the Federal 

Government; and acquires new skills 

and a new perspective to enable it to 

contribute effectively in the changing 

environment of the 21st century.’’ FAI 

will use the fund to develop training 

resources needed to enable federal 

acquisition professionals to transition to 

a service oriented and technology 

driven federal market.

FAI coordinates with the Office of 

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), the 

FAI Board of Directors and the Chief 

Acquisition Officers (CAO) Council, and
