Mr. Robert Folen, deputy director for Program Analysis and Financial Management, won the individual award in the Comptroller/Deputy Comptroller, Major Command Headquarters or higher category.
The competition included participants from all of the services and Department of Defense activities. This is a big deal, Folen said crediting his team as the real winners. I was surprised because it is so competitive.
