I developed the Internal Control All-Star badge course in an on-demand format. However, I soon realized that some prefer more interaction and discussion about the materials covered. 

In response, I organized the first in-person Internal Control All-Star session, where five new Internal Control All-Stars earned their credentials.

The five earning recognition, from left to right, were:

• Leah Woolsoncroft, IDP Associate Director of Finance, Planning, and Analysis
• Lisa Pappas, Executive Assistant to the Finance & Administration Divisional Officer
• Lexi Campbell, IDP Business Manager
• Preston Williams, IDP Business Coordinator
• Cole Wassenberg, IDP Budget Analyst

Leah Woolsoncroft and her Industry and Defense Programs finance team found the scheduled in-person session helpful for committing to completing the course. As a bonus, they appreciated how this format allowed for more in-depth discussion of specific areas and enhanced their learning experience.

Lisa Pappas, joining us from the vice president for finance office, expressed a similar sentiment.

Would you like to complete your Internal Control All-Star certification in a group setting where we review the materials, discuss the concepts, and answer the exam questions together?

If so, I have scheduled a session for Wednesday, July 17, from 1:30 to 3:30.

To take the exam, which is a Qualtrics survey, you will need to bring an electronic device with a browser (laptop, iPhone, iPad, or similar).
