He did what I would call a talent competition within our directorate, and there were people that had talents that I never knew of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Gail Fowler, U.S. Army, Retired<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As campaign manager for the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management, Fowler successfully engaged with her command structure to develop a communications plan that included messages from leadership and updates on campaign progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her efforts drove CFC donations that well exceeded established goals for 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGail worked so hard that her component gave 150 percent of its goal last year,\u201d said Micone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese are folks that are true CFC national heroes, because they inspire us all to do more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While celebrating the achievements of the past season, the CFCNA conference also emphasized the improvements to and goals for the 2018 season, which began Sept. 10 and runs through Jan. 11, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/cfcgiving.opm.gov\/welcome\" target=_blank>website for pledging donations<\/a> was updated for 2018, including easier search functions, the ability to allocate funds by dollar amount to each charity rather than by percent, the ability to make multiple kinds of pledges through one donation account and an enhanced focus on federal retirees and new employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople who are former federal employees, retired federal employees, they still have that dedication to public service. And we\u2019re very excited that we can engage them, working with current feds to give and to volunteer with these organizations,\u201d said Micone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the event, OPM Director Jeff Pon celebrated the updates and the federal commitment to expanding their service to their communities beyond their government jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis program, CFC, it embodies some of my priorities as director of OPM. One is digitization, getting out of paper, making sure that we modernize the way in which we work,\u201d said Pon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have a point in time, what are you going to do with it? Maybe in the next 120 days, you\u2019re going to change the lives of some people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, CFCNA raised $38.7 million, contributed 45,000 gifts, and made a commitment of 50,000 volunteer hours. According to Micone, the region is setting a goal to equal or surpass that amount by raising $38 million to $40 million for 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to go up in every single mark. We want more gifts, we want to raise more money and we want to have more volunteer hours,\u201d said Micone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donations made through CFC dropped overall from 2016 to 2017 \u2014 from $167 million to $101 million \u2014 which Micone attributed to the intensity of the 2017 hurricane season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLast year we need to keep in perspective. When the hurricanes hit, OPM was conducting a special drive for federal employees to contribute to hurricane relief that was separate from the CFC. So the CFC started a little later, and federal employees were encouraged to give to disaster relief because of the enormity of those storms,\u201d said Micone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy view is that it may have dropped a little bit, but if we had a magic wand and could figure out where all those contributions were from federal employees and add it to CFC, we would probably be in very good shape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2018\/08\/17\/peace-corps-director-to-chair-federal-charity-campaign\/\" target=_blank>Jody Olsen, director of the Peace Corps and honorary chair of CFC2018<\/a>, expressed her confidence that the 2018 campaign would surpass previous years\u2019 contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou work hard, you make a difference, and you\u2019re going to make a huge difference over these next three months. And we\u2019re going to exceed the campaigns of the past because of every single one of you,\u201d said Olsen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Combined Federal Campaign of the
