Activities:
Leadership development
Responded to a narrative survey request about practicing/enhancing leadership competencies using electronic forms of communication, specifically teleconferencing and virtual meetings for participant in the federal Executive Leadership Program.
Vice Commandant's Virtual Townhall
Participated in (by listening in and submitting several questions) the Vice Commandant's virtual townhall session. Identified two areas that the OPC cadre might be able to help: improving the (timeliness of the) civilian personnel hiring system and linking to the FORCECOM traveling teams for our work, particularly the routine assessment work in the Commandant's Performance Challenge. Sent email to OPC cadre and participated in email discussion around these two issues. No resolution at this this time.
Career coaching
Discussed job offer and OPC work with federal employee who has been offered an OPC position at a different work site.

Researched and provided two travel claim audit packages to Topeka.

Position Description
As a part of my own realignment to the D5 staff, was provided a PD dated 5 February 1996. Needless to say, this PD is out of date.
