AFMC senior leaders convene Published Dec. 7, 2006 By Mitch Shaw Public Affairs HILL AIR FORCE BASE, UTAH -- Men and women who are the keepers of decades of Air Force history and wisdom convened this week to discuss current and future issues facing Air Force Materiel Command and the Air Force. As the biannual AFMC Senior Leaders Conference convened here Tuesday, Hill acted as host to a four-star general and all the senior civilian and military leaders within the Air Force Material Command. "This is the one time Gen. Bruce Carlson (commander, AFMC) has to get all of his leaders together and to give the vision and set the tone for the command," said Maj. Steven Storch, director of operations for the 75th Operations Support Squadron, who spearheaded preparations for the conference. The conference is normally held at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, but General Carlson made a special request to hold the fall conference at Hill. "The theme for this conference is Leadership in One Air Force Materiel Command, and General Carlson really wants to unify his leaders. We have a great atmosphere here for team-building," said Major Storch. "We have had a ton of dedicated Americans from Hill working long hours in preparation to take great care of our senior leaders," said Col. Scott Chambers, 75th Air Base Wing commander. The conference began Tuesday and concluded Thursday. In addition to briefings and discussions, the senior leaders were scheduled to exercise in teams at the new fitness center and to attend a special dinner at the Hill Aerospace Museum.
