Franchetti, a trailblazer herself as the first woman to serve as CNO and the first woman to be a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provided a perspective that resonated with the audience. She shared her personal journey, the challenging assignments she completed, and the fulfillment of leading teams as she rose through the ranks of the U.S. Navy. Her message was centered on work-life balance, integration and the warfighting effectiveness in great leaders, great people and great teams.<\/p>\n

“We are the \u2018they.\u2019 It really doesn’t matter what level you’re at. You’re part of the \u2018they\u2019 in your own organization. So, own the culture, create places where people can bring their best to the table every single day and contribute,\u201d said Franchetti. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to keep that accelerator down because the adversaries are going after our strength. And our strength is our people. And that’s what we need to focus on.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the panel were Naval District Washington Commandant, Rear Adm. Nancy Lacore; Assistant Deputy CNO, Plans, and Strategy, Rear Adm. Heidi Berg; Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy, Management, E. Anne Sandel; and Navy Installations Command Executive Director, Timothy Bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have important work to do throughout the enterprise to improve readiness generation and, that includes investing in our people,\u201d said Vice Adm. James Downey, commander, NAVSEA. \u201cThis will be a primary focus for us on this larger Navy team here as we align to meet the Secretary and the CNO strategic priorities to maintain maritime dominance and deliver Americans warfighting capabilities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the event concluded, Rear Adm. Dean VanderLey, commander of NAVFAC, issued a powerful challenge to the participants. He urged them to harness the energy and inspiration from the shared stories to propel the Navy, and ultimately the nation, toward a brighter and more inclusive future. “In the words of our CNO, we need all the players on the field, and it’s crucial to recognize that a significant number of our most talented and valuable players are women,” VanderLey emphasized.<\/p>\n

International Women’s Day beckons a rallying cry that resounds through the ages. The United Nations\u2019 theme to “Invest in women: Accelerate progress,” is an anthem of cause that summons the need to unite, in unwavering solidarity, for women today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
