On Tuesday, January 30, 2024, the Sun City Chapter of the Adjutant General's Corps Regimental Association (AGCRA), had the unique pleasure of hosting the Adjutant General’s Corps Senior Executive Council (SEC). The Sun City Chapter is AGCRA's nonprofit organization that was reactivated post-COVID-19 with the mission of bridging the gap with our Human Resources (HR) Professionals at all levels within the Fort Bliss, TX (FBTX) footprint.

In the HR realm, networking is especially important as there are multiple echelons for which HR support on any installation is provided (e.g., Company, Battalion, Brigade, Division, Military Personnel Division (MPD), or Directorate of Human Resources (DHR)).
CSM Tamika DeVeaux, AG Corps Regimental CSM, presented Coins of Excellence to SSG WilliamCrumley (currently dual-hatted as the S-1 OIC & NCOIC for 1-67 AR BN), SSG BrenayiahDawson (Alternate Treasurer, Sun City Chapter), and SGT KatrinaSatterlee (FBTX AG Soldier of the Quarter FY24).

The Sun City Chapter aims to bring leaders within the Fort Bliss area to provide Leader Professional Development (LPD) sessions throughout the HR community, addressing issues facing our various units, the continued refinement of the Army’s HR weapon system known as the Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A), talent alignment, evaluation boards, mentorship, certifications offered through the U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute, and the state of the Adjutant General's Corps.
The LPD was moderated by SGM Jamila Allen of the 32d AAMDC G-1. The audience fielded questions to the AG SEC from evaluations, talent alignment, and concerns with IPPS-A, to mentorship and credentialing.
