This year’s winners wrote essays on one of two current topics:
SDFM’s Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM) program is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, with more than 14,000 defense financial management personnel having achieved certification. In addition to the basic certification, there is also the CDFM-A, an advanced level of certification for acquisition professionals, and SDFM will soon roll out the CDFM-H certification for the defense healthcare community.
Congratulations to the winners – and read their essays soon!
