Women's Leadership Forum

   The Women's Leadership Forum, hosted by the 3rd Recruiting Brigade at Ft. Knox was an exceptional event. Well organized and filled with valuable insights into the challenges of bringing today's young women into the Army. The Brigade staff was impressive, but even more so were the many female recruiters from the 11 states they cover in the upper Midwest.  The event kicked off with 240 female JROTC cadets, who listened to presentations and had the opportunity to see a live demonstration of the Army's Golden Knights parachute team and a new physical fitness test under consideration.  This was followed by an assortment of small group discussions on a wide variety of topics to include overcoming obstacles,  unconscious bias and stereotypes, handling family responsibilities and dealing with relationships in the workplace.  The speakers and recruiters were outstanding and having the opportunity to speak at this event was an honor.  Many thanks to MAJ Melissa Miller, the project officer, who brought us all together.

   3rd Recruiting Brigade will be leading the way in the Army Recruiting Command. They are out ahead of the pack!
