FMonopoly:
Traveling Treats Passes Go

by Zach Luther

This May 6th marks the return of an event that hasn’t been seen in Financial Management in over a year. It combines food, entertainment, learning about other departments, and a fair amount of traveling. The event is Traveling Treats, and this time we have an FM-wide theme: FMonopoly. Based on the classic Parker Brothers game of real estate capitalism, our version emphasizes the work processes of each FM department and its role in the entirety of the division.

We’ve enlisted the help of Michael Fero (Treasury) to create game boards, and each player will be able to get credit for traveling to a department by getting a square marked off on his or her game board. There will be prizes for people who get to every department—no mean feat, as Financial Management is more widespread than ever before!

The departments will provide food for the travelers, and will enlighten visitors about the department’s function, duties, goals and processes.

Each RQT representative is enlisting members of his or her department to help in the preparation for the event. If you would like to volunteer for this fun activity, please contact your representative.
