AACE International sadly announces the passing of Kim Hunter, EVP, on Dec. 25, 2016, after a long battle with cancer.  “We have lost a friend, colleague, and a valued member of AACE International,” said John Livengood, President of AACE International.

Kim was a recognized expert in the earned value community and was a certified Earned Value Professional.  She served on the AACE International Earned Value Subcommittee, writing several Recommended Practices.  She also chaired the Government Liaison Subcommittee and spearheaded the successful conference on “EVM and Risk Management” in April 2012.  She taught the Earned Value certification seminars at the AACE Annual Meeting for a number of years and was well-known through her participation in a number of other conferences.  She was passionate about EVM and was respected for her expertise on the subject.

Kim had proudly served for 20 years in the Marines, retiring in 2004 as a Major.  She was a professor at Defense Acquisition University, and taught earned value to all the branches of the Department of Defense. She promoted the AACE International Earned Value Professional (EVP) certification to all who attended DAU and taught a refresher course to other instructors at DAU so they could get their EVP certification.

Services will be held at St. Thomas Methodist Church in Manassas, Virginia on Jan. 5, 2017, with interment following at Quantico. “My friend Kim was a passionate advocate of EVM throughout her career, and she was also a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend, an avid horse rider, and a woman of great Christian faith. I will miss her and so will everyone who knew her.” said Marlene Hyde, AACE International 2012-2013 Past President.
