			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Karen Pica, head of the<a href="http://www.fai.gov/" target="_blank"> Federal Acquisition Institute</a>, is moving to the <a href="http://www.omb.gov" target="_blank">Office of Management and Budget</a>, <em>FedLine </em>has learned.</p>
<p>While at FAI, the governmentâ€™s school for training civilian procurement personnel, Pica has been a leader in acquisition work force recruitment and retention efforts. During her tenure, she worked with OMB to launch a <a href="http://www.fai.gov/FAIC/Default.asp" target="_blank">Federal Acquisition Intern Coalition </a>to recruit and train new hires to be contracting officers.</p>
<p><em>FedLine</em> is told that Pica will continue to focus on solving the shortfalls in the acquisition work force as a policy analyst for OMB&#8217;s <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/procurement/index.html" target="_blank">Office of Federal Procurement Policy</a>.</p>
<p>No word yet on who will replace Pica at FAI. As always, we&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>
