There was an excellent turnout for the Industry Only Pre-PPF sponsored by IAM and AMSA held in Fairview Heights, Ill. outside Scott Air Force Base on Nov. 17 and the next day well over 300 attendees participated during the formal PPF hosted by the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) in the same location. The full slide deck is available for download on IAMs site: iamovers.org/ProgramsEducation/Presentation.aspx?ItemNumber=2505 Industry attendees and SDDC staffers were welcomed and heard opening comments from Mr. William H. Budden, Deputy to the Commander of SDDC. Mr. Budden laid out both near and long-term objectives of the Command and provided an outlook on the volume of DOD household moving the industry might expect over the next several years. Capt. Aaron K. Stanley, USN, Director, Personal Property, reviewed the agenda and format for the day’s planned briefings and discussion topics. Attendees were subsequently briefed by Mr. Tim Knapp and Ms. Roni McDaniels on the status and future plans for the Defense Personal Property System (DPS). IAM staff and the Association’s volunteer leadership will be reporting more details and potential follow-on action in the near future once they have had the opportunity to digest and assess impacts on the industry and membership.
