portunity to lead.

“I would highly encourage Airmen to attend a LEAD
Council meeting if they haven’t already. It’s better to
hear about the latest and greatest events directly from
an Airman than reading it in email,” Vogel said. “Not
only are Airmen able to ask questions, but they can have
them answered right away. They can get involved and
talk about volunteer events they’re planning. We also give
individuals a chance to lead and have the opportunity
to head up events. We help push their ideas and events
through meetings and email. Remember, being an active
member of the LEAD Council is a great way to not only
give back to others but to have a chance to make a posi-
tive impact on other Airmen and in the local community.”
