The assistant secretaries overseeing manpower and reserve affairs for the three military services will join ADC at the Defense Communities National Summit in April. They’ll discuss how military-community partnerships can help bridge the military-civilian divide as it relates to serving in the armed forces.

Agnes Gereben Schaefer from the Army, Franklin Parker from the Navy and Alex Wagner from the Air Force will also talk about finding new ways to ensure the military is an employer of choice.
