ARLINGTON, Va. \u2013 Over 1,300 women from all branches of military and civilian service gathered in Arlington, Virginia for professional development through networking, education, and mentorship June 26 \u2013 28 at the Joint Women\u2019s Leadership Symposium hosted by the Sea Services Leadership Association.<\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s symposium was \u2018Strength Through Service\u2019. The symposium featured panel discussions, service specific breakout sessions, and women senior leader guest speakers. Panels addressed inclusion, women in non-traditional roles, military family challenges, and leading with compassion.<\/p>\n

United States Army Reserve Careers Group Operations Researcher and Systems Analyst, Lt. Col. Kaylee Bandy was among those in attendance. She indicated that many of the symposium topics are relevant to her efforts to initiate a Female Mentoring and Morale Program chapter at ARCG.<\/p>\n

Bandy said ARCG is in the early stages of formalizing a FMMP at the Group Headquarters in Fort Knox, Ky., with the intention of expanding to battalions in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe symposium reminded me that it takes one voice to tackle issues and rally for change,\u201d Bandy said. \u201cIt showed me that our first line, middle, and senior level leaders are all invested in improving our forces and creating conditions for success for our women warfighters. The FMMP, a product of the Army\u2019s Women\u2019s Initiatives Team, is a fantastic platform with a similar focus on mentorship, professional development, and gender specific needs analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Army Women\u2019s Initiatives Team is a group of representatives from across the Army who study issues, develop policy changes, and make recommendations to Army leaders about women in the Army.<\/p>\n

Women of all ranks from all branches of service attended the symposium in pursuit of mentorship, policy and hardship discussion, and personal and professional encouragement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe symposium validated challenges specific to female warfighters,\u201d Bandy said. \u201cWe were able to propose solutions to shared problems, identify available resources, and promote outlets for change. It was a revolutionary networking event, bonding women from across all branches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a coalition of women, across the globe, taking the hard jobs, breaking barriers, blazing trails, shattering ceilings, and challenging the norms. These women are betting on themselves because there is a congregation of women betting on each other,\u201d Bandy said.<\/p>\n

Bandy is leading a critical effort for the Army and Army Reserve as the program manager for the Department of the Army Career Engagement Survey. She is also in the process of launching the first ever Headquarters Department of the Army Standardized Exit Survey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program is designed to anonymously gauge active and reserve component Soldier sentiment regarding propensity to serve, inclination to separate and overall service experience,\u201d Bandy said. \u201cOur most precious resource is the men and women in our formations. This program of surveys provides a valuable opportunity for our warfighters to communicate their opinions and attitudes regarding their Army service.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
