Throughout both days, they discussed topics such as effective communication and strategies, ethical leadership, and emotional intelligence. Chief Master Sgt. Slyvester Lawrence, Air Force District of Washington Airman Development Advisor special duty manager, and Col. Heather Nelson, 316th Medical Group deputy commander, were among the many facilitators to discuss these topics.
