Quality of Life Conference 2010 – Our voices will be heard

When I was selected to participate in the Quality of Life Conference, I can honestly say I had no idea what to expect. After arriving here at the conference, I was very surprised at the relaxing, yet passionate atmosphere I experienced. I was placed in the Community Services I Group. My group was very energetic, enthusiastic and full of really great ideas. There were times of strong disagreements, but we were always able to come to a conclusion that was beneficial to all of EUCOM.

Voices from this conference will be heard! I was not aware of all of the ideas for changes that generate from conferences such as the Post 9-11 G.I. Bill transferability. I really feel that the ideas we brought to the attention of leadership at this year’s conference will help make a great and much needed change within EUCOM. Being at this conference and being part of something that may help generations to come is truly a great feeling.

Overall, it would be my honor and privilege to return to this conference in the future to help be the voice for our service members.

Conferences such as these show that our military is not complacent on its procedures, but rather open and accepting to change to help create a better Quality of Life for our service members and their family members.
