This “Supporting the Warfighter” survey should take only a few minutes to complete, and asks ASMC members about PPBE, transitioning from supplemental funding to baseline budgeting, and the future financial workforce (skills, insourcing, career paths) ASMC will reward the three chapters with the highest percentage response rate to this survey a cash award.  1st - $300  2nd - $200  3rd - $100.  The award will be based on the number of responses received per chapter divided by the total paid membership of a chapter as of April 15, 2010.
