NCMA DC is proud to kick off the program year on Wednesday, September 16 with a (free) virtual event featuring Melissa Starinsky, Director, Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). Ms. Starinsky began her career as an acquisition intern with the Navy. Since then, she has held various acquisition, policy, and program leadership positions within the government and the private sector. She will discuss her acquisition transformation and streamlining initiative across CMS, including the impacts and return on investment.
We look forward to seeing you on the screen. Registration is free and you must register in order to attend, participate, and earn CPE. We will email you the day before the event with any additional or finalized details, and will email your CPE certificate after the event.
