Financial Management<br />
Under the direction of the <strong>Area</strong> Director, the <strong>Nashville</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Division of<br />
Financial Management (DFM) implemented the use of a budget template and<br />
conducted quarterly budget meetings with the managers to review the status<br />
of their budgets. The DFM staff has participated in 15 trainings and forums<br />
to stay up-to-date on any new and/or improved processes. The <strong>Area</strong> Director<br />
also oversaw three training sessions that included the <strong>Service</strong> Unit Chief<br />
Executive Officers (CEO) in January, April and August <strong>2011</strong>. Indicators of<br />
exceptional utilization and knowledge of Unified Financial Management<br />
