UPDATE ON CENTER REALIGNMENT ACTIVITIES

The following update is provided on activities and implementation
milestones associated with the MSFC Realignment.

* During the last three weeks, the Alignment Transition Team (new
Organization Directors announced by the Center Director on August 20th)
has been working toward finalizing the structure and staffing plans for
their respective organizations. Leadership teams (i.e., supervisors and
team leaders) are now in place for each organization and staffing plans
are being finalized.

* Beginning the week of September 27th, employees affected by the
realignment should expect to receive an e-mail message inviting them to
an All Hands meeting in the organization to which they will be assigned.
These All Hands meetings will take place the week of October 4th.
During the All Hands meeting, the Organization Director will discuss the
new organization chart and charter, and roles and responsibilities of
the organization.

* In anticipation that our new organization structure will be
approved at HQ, we will begin operating informally under the new
organization structure and employees will report to their new
supervisors beginning October 11. Until this time, all employees
should continue to report to their current supervisor. Questions may be
addressed to the Human Resources Department representative designated
for your organization.

* During the month of October, the Human Resources Department will
be working with the new Organization managers to finalize the specific
actions necessary to officially implement the realignment (e.g.,
classifying new position descriptions, establishing new organization
codes, etc.). With approximately 2000 employees being affected by the
realignment, the official personnel actions assigning employees to their
new organizations will be processed in phases over a two month period
beginning the end of October. The target date for completing the
processing of all official personnel actions related to the realignment
is mid-December.
