of Central Texas
By Cliff Sees
The III Corps and Fort Hood commander

Central Texas April 22 at the Fort Hood
Officers’ Club.
LIEUTENANT GEN. H.G. Taylor said he
appreciates and supports what FMACT stands
for and their support of the soldiers civilian
workforce and family members.
He challenged the private professional orga-
nization to keep striving for the best and to
maintain their optimism about the growth at
Fort Hood.
A question and answer period followed Tay-
lor’s remarks. This let the managers (GS-9
through GM-14) ask Taylor questions about
their responsibilities interests and concerns.
The FMACT is anew organization at Fort
Hood for federal managers and potential man-
agers who want a local and national voice in
their professional development.
The FMA is the oldest and largest manage-
ment organization in the federal government.
From modest beginnings in 1913 with chapters
in seven U.S. naval shipyards FMA today has
more than 15000 members in more than 150
chapters in almost all federal departments and
agencies.
ANY GOVERNMENT employee in a man-
agement position can join and take advantage

Taylor speaks to local Federal Managers Association members
The FMA works to improve productivity in
the federal government by advocating and
sponsoring improved training for supervisors
at all levels. S
Acting as spokesman for federal managers
everywhere FMA is always in touch with the
Office of Personnel Management Congres-
sional committees and other agencies.
The FMA advocates merit system concepts
in all phases of personnel management. It
seeks a pay structure that’s more fair for all
government managers. It endorses legislation
to let managers and supervisors have their
own competitive health insurance plan.
The FMA resisted the merger of the Federal
Retirement System with Social Security. Now
it is monitoring these programs and will dra-
matize inequities and work for improvements.
The FMA has an exclusive members-only
newsletter to keep managers informed of all
developments affecting their careers and job
security. The Federal Managers Quarterly
magazine provides in-depth review of manage-
ment issues.
AND THE FMA’s national headquarters
staff specialists are available to answer indi-
vidual members’ inquiries.
Local chapters like the FMACT chapter
unites installation managers to identify mu-
tual problems promote self-help and profes-
sionalism and to stimulate an exchange of
ideas and techniques.
Chapters provide managers with a two-way
communications channel to all levels of man-

I Am A Sergeant by the Non-
commissioned Officer Academy

“IT WAS very popular to
hold dances in hangars during
the war” Marty Martinez said.
He is the chairman of the com-
mittee. “It was the biggest mo-
rale booster for the troops and
civilian workers to have dances
in hangars even overseas.
We’re trying to replicate that
environment.”
The public is invited to the
hangar dance and static dis-
play and there is no charge.
Donations will be accepted

the aircraft to fly to Killeen.

has donated their time and air-

paid for the fuel” Martinez
