1. Attention Budget Tool Users
As you are aware, Financial Administration Training (FAD) provides a variety of instructor-led and on-line learning opportunities for users of Harvard University's financial systems.

"Using the Budget Tool for Fiscal Budgeting" is one of the many courses offered. This course is offered regularly in the fall and winter to support the University's annual budget process, however, FAD are willing to host a budget tool training session at HMS in late spring/early summer, if there are enough interested parties.

If you are interested in attending a budget tool training session in the near future, please contact David Smallwood at 617-432-0537 or via email at david_smallwood@hms.harvard.edu by 4/29/03.

To find out more about the budget tool training course, and all other FAD courses, please visit the Financial Administration Training website at http://vpf-web.harvard.edu/training/
