A program analyst at the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) was honored as a National Combined Federal Campaign (CDC) Hero at an awards ceremony at Saufley Field May 11.

Bill Marvel, acting chairperson for the Southeast Tri-State Region Combined Federal Campaign, presented the award to Chrissy Wagner, program analyst for the Navy Advancement Center Strategic Analysis and Metrics Branch.

"Every year, the Office of Personnel Management recognizes campaigns and volunteers who have made extraordinary contributions to the CFC through their dedication and creativity," said Marvel. "The CFC Heroes Awards are given to the campaign's 'unsung heroes' who made significant differences and demonstrated leadership qualities in their campaign. Ms. Wagner certainly displays all of those qualities."

According to her nomination, Wagner has been continuously involved in CFC dating back to her Navy active duty service in 1977, excelling in every position, including key person, loaned executive, and chairperson. For the 2015 and 2016 CFC campaigns, she coordinated the NAS Pensacola CFC Golf Tournament fundraisers, resulting in a 40 percent increase in online donations.

NETPDC Commanding Officer Capt. Kertreck Brooks said Wagner's dedication to CFC is extraordinary, and her coordination of the CFC Golf Tournaments have become a huge asset to the overall campaign.

"Two years ago, when Chrissy coordinated the inaugural tournament, it was extremely successful, and has become not only a fun annual event, but a key component of the NAS Pensacola CFC activities," said Brooks. "Her creativity, dedication and insight over the years have translated into many thousands of dollars that benefitted a wide-range of CFC charities."

Wagner said she was surprised by the recognition, and she has always enjoyed helping people.

"I believe that if you want good things, you have to do good things," said Wagner. "I was a bit of a wild child in my younger years, so I've been working at adjusting my Karma in the right direction. Supporting CFC has been meaningful and fun."

NETPDC's mission is to provide products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development, and personnel advancement throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the Voluntary Education (VOLED) Department, the Navy Advancement Center (NAC) and the Resources Management Department.
