# Bahrain native sees green at DLA records management training

By Brianne M. BenderDLA Distribution Public Affairs

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pennsylvania  –              

ShaimaHaji, Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Bahrain, started her career as alibrarian for the Navy in 2012. In March, 2013 Haji transferred to DLA to takeon the role of command records management coordinator. 

Recently,Haji traveled to the U.S. for the first time to attend training provided forrecords coordinators at DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa.  Thistraining provided the records management coordinators with the opportunity toget to know one another.  The DLA program provides guidance foragency personnel who create, maintain, store, use, and dispose of records. AsDLA continues to focus on efficiency, the objective of the training was toachieve an uninterrupted flow of information within the DLA network. Haji foundthe experience to be invaluable, as well as inspiring.

“Iwas excited to come here to New Cumberland, to see where DLA Distributionstarts,” said Haji. “Though I have traveled many places, this is the first timeI have been in the United States, and the first time I saw spring and greentrees. The weather is nice,” she continued.

Additionally,Haji found the training to be very helpful, providing her information she couldtake back to Bahrain and use to advance her career. She will be applying for hermaster’s program to further develop her knowledge.  Haji looksforward to more training and video teleconferencing opportunities in thefuture.
