The Diversity and Inclusion Airmen’s Forum recently was started at Little Rock Air Force Base to help foster a more inclusive environment at the Arkansas installation.

“The Diversity and Inclusion Airmen’s Forum is an awesome initiative that gives folks the opportunity to have some hard-hitting and sometimes difficult conversations in a safe and controlled environment,” said Tech. Sgt. Langston Anthony, the forum’s co-chairperson. “The forum removes any barriers or obstacles from Airmen having the opportunity to weigh in on decisions made at the base level with relation to diversity and inclusion.”

The forum includes Airmen between the ranks of E-2 to E-9, O-1 to O-4, as well as Defense Department civilians to help provide a wide-array of personal and professional experience.

“It is an honor to be a part of this,” said Chief Master Sgt. John Chilcote, 314th AW command chief. “We have an opportunity to make meaningful changes through the recommendations provided to us from the forum.”
