Division 89--Your Accomplishments are Truely Remarkable!
Over the past week or so I had the honor of grading some of the AFSA-Lutely outstanding awards packages for Division 89. I read the tremendous accomplishments, which were the result of our hard working AFSA brothers and sisters from the Airman tier all the way up to our hard-charging NCO level.
The team accomplishments are what I was most proud of, as I am a true advocate for the “Together-Everyone-Achieves-More” concept. Division 89, you are tried and true professionals—reaching out where others only dream. You touched our communities through your selfless service, you embraced our Veterans through the myriad of ceremonies you organized, led, and executed. You sharpened the sword of justice by pushing legislative information and contacting your elected officials to do the same. More importantly, YOU ALL LIVED the principles AFSA was founded on.
At the end of this month, many of us will gather in beautiful Rapid City, South Dakota to celebrate these accomplishments first hand. As one of the judges of this year’s awards, I can honestly say that I had a difficult time deciding between our truly phenomenal packages and the absolutely extraordinary submissions. I applaud and salute each of our beloved 11,000+ strong AFSA Members for what you do every single day!Now…take a bow, smile and get back to work! Let us forge professionalism one member at a time and bet 15,000 strong by the end of this year! RECRUIT/RETAIN……
