West Virginia National Guard history was made this past weekend as Soldiers and Airmen from across the state came together for the inaugural Professional Development Summit. This event created an opportunity for mentorship, leadership growth, networking, and collaboration between components in a way our state has never seen before.
From speed mentoring sessions to professional development discussions, the summit gave enlisted leaders the chance to learn from one another, share experiences, and strengthen the future of the West Virginia National Guard. Proud to see our Soldiers and Airmen investing in themselves, their teams, and the next generation of leaders.
This is only the beginning for professional development in West Virginia, and the impact from this summit will continue long after the event ended.
