  • Fellow Logisticians, on Behalf of Your Logistics Officer Association, Welcome to Washington DC and the 2012 LOA National Symposi
    Fellow Logisticians, On behalf of your Logistics Officer Association, welcome to Washington DC and the 2012 LOA National Symposium! The event team has done a great job recognizing three decades of impact with the theme “30 Years of Developing Logisticians,” and I know we will all benefit from the presentations, exchanges, and discussions. This year’s agenda and slate of speakers is sure to inform and stimulate ideas on how logisticians can further enhance our important part of National Defense. Something new this year is the Professional Development Day—a training day that will further arm you with tools of our discipline. I encourage you to maximize this opportunity by learning something outside of your day-to-day functional area or increase your expertise in a specific skill—but in both cases, helping to facilitate related discussions about the issues we currently face. The speaker line-up is crafted to highlight the necessity of deliberately developing logisticians, and why that makes a difference in the way Air Force logistics supports combatant commanders across the globe. From breakout panels to main stage, you will hear how we are adapting professional development to align with urgent and future Air Force requirements. As a service— and as part of the joint force—we will continue to focus on enabling all logisticians to meet the readiness needs of fellow Airmen and commanders in the most efficient way. We’ll also continue to rely on LOA to further that focus through dynamic chapter events, thought- provoking member articles in the Exceptional Release, and of course, this capstone symposium that brings senior Air Force leadership and loggies together.
