AGCRA Iron Mike Chapter's Leadership and Development Panel

On 18 July 2024, the AGCRA Iron Mike Chapter conducted its second Leadership and Development Panel of 2024, entitled “Getting to Know Your Corps.” The event was held at the Fort Liberty NCO Academy.

The event's goal was to introduce, engage, and dialogue with leaders from the Army Band, United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), and Career Counselors supporting Fort Liberty on the topics of leadership, talent management, Soldier transition support, retention, recruiting, lessons learned, and networking. The panel showcased the contributions of these outstanding professionals to our Corps and ensured integration and connection. The event was broadcast on MS Teams via our AG Corps Teams Channel at Fort Liberty (Fort Liberty AG Forum) and the Iron Mike Chapter’s Facebook page.

Following the event, the Chapter recognized key supporters of the Inaugural AG Corps Appreciation Day and served hamburgers and hotdogs.
