PMIWDC

As the Deputy CIO and PMO lead for the Armed Forces Benefits Association (AFBA), Madeline is no stranger to the challenges of network operations and the delivery of enterprise-wide IT projects. Her academic credentials (MSCS California State University; BSCS University of California ‘the U”) and professional experience have served her well in both government and the private sector engagements.

After relocating to Washington, DC in 2000, Madeline accepted a position with Fujitsu Consulting joining their project management practice. An early Fujitsu client engagement leading a web content management initiative for the Department of Commerce International Trade Administration underscored for Madeline the value of having a PMP certification. Afterwards Madeline began attending PMIWDC dinner meetings to learn as much as she could about the project management discipline earning her PMP credential in 2002.

Friend, colleague, and PMIWDC chapter member Dot Johnson convinced Madeline to give volunteering a try; she was a key member of the 2008 Career Day and chaired the committee in 2009. Madeline has enjoyed volunteering with the chapter ever since. She currently serves as AVP Membership and Chair for the New Member Committee. The New Member Committee welcomes new members to the WDC chapter by conducting orientation sessions, hosting tables for new chapter members at the monthly Tyson’s Corner dinner meetings, and staffing the Meet & Greet area.

Madeline enjoys traveling and is planning a trip to Barcelona and Madrid in June. She loves gardening and duplicate bridge. A competitive athlete, Madeline completed the New York City marathon in 2009 (third marathon) and hopes to add the Marine Corps marathon to her list of achievements.
