In the last three years House of Representatives personnel office MRA's have been cut by as much as 20%. CMF has conducted extensive research on how senior managers can effectively manage these budget cuts.

This video will address:

• How are other managers handling the expected cuts?
• What are the strategic questions which should be asked?
• How should we manage the operational and morale impacts of the cuts?

In the fall of 2011 CMF conducted focus groups, interviews, and surveys of staff to help House Chiefs of Staff and office managers make thoughtful and strategic decisions regarding budget cuts. The training video was conducted by Bradford Fitch, President and CEO of CMF, and Rick Shapiro, CMF's former Executive Director and project consultant.

The research and program is supported through a grant from Credit Union National Association.
