FMMP Events

  • For those who missed last month’s session on “Diversity as a Force Multiplier,” with Honorable Carrie Ricci (the 23rd General Counsel for the Army), you missed an amazing dialogue about the value people from diverse backgrounds bring to the Army and every organization. Honorable Ricci discussed the importance of leaders understanding, empathizing with, and respecting people from different cultures and upbringings, and how treating everyone with dignity and respect makes us the greatest Army and country in the world. Finally, she shared the Army’s plans for ensuring every Soldier and Civilian is afforded equal opportunities to flourish in and with the Army.
