    “The goal of the summit is bringing leadership together to focus on development,” Chief Master Sgt. Edward Zuech, 111ATKW command chief,said. “The focus is leadership growth and the synchronization of ideas and vision.Oftenwe struggle to take the time to invest in ourselves and to put away the tactical and focus on strategy.

    “We are so busy doing the job, we sometimes forget that we are people who also have things going on, even outside the uniform,” said Zuech. “So,the idea of developing ourselves professionally, intellectually and also using the pillar of trust – connection – is critical for this opportunity.”

    It’sa unique and incredible opportunity for leadership wing-wide to be able to gather and focus on themselves as well as mission readiness.
