Combined Federal Campaign is choosing to remain optimistic about the year to come




Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: It's been a tough couple of years for the Combined Federal Campaign. The national capital region raised a little over 34 million dollars during last year's campaign which fell smack dab in the middle of the longest government shutdown in history. It's a stark contrast to the years where the region raised over 60 million dollars in one year. But the CFC is confident it can bounce back. Vince Micone is the CFC chairman for the national capital region. He's also the deputy inspector general for management for the Special Inspector General for the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program. He spoke with Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko about the theme for this year's campaign.
