# Trip to Jacksonville completes Aviation commander’s tour of ISAs 

/ Published Nov. 7, 2022
RICHMOND, Va., 
Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Commander Air Force Brig. Gen. Sean Tyler wrapped up his tour of the six industrial support activities with a two-day trip to DLA Aviation at Jacksonville, Florida, Oct. 25 and 26.

Senior leadership for DLA Aviation’s Customer Operations Directorate accompanied Tyler to Jacksonville. They included the director of the Directorate, Air Force Col. Dan Willison, Chief of the Directorate’s Navy Customer Facing Division Navy Capt. Ron Hoak and Marine Col. Michael Kline, division chief of the Directorate’s Marine Corp Customer Facing Division.

DLA Aviation at Jacksonville Officer-in-Charge Navy Cmdr. Brandon Palmer hosted the visit.

During his time in Jacksonville, Tyler participated in a town hall with DLA Aviation Jacksonville staff where he gave out length of service awards and coined employees for outstanding performance. He also helped kick off the annual Toys for Tots campaign.

The DLA Aviation Richmond group got an opportunity to see firsthand Fleet Readiness Center Southeast’s sheet metal manufacturing, pattern layout, multi-axis computer numerical control and additive manufacturing equipment. They also toured FRCSE’s T-6 Texan and F-5 Tiger fighter jets production lines and DLA Distribution Jacksonville retail, wholesale and F-35 Strike Fighter jet warehouses.

“The Jacksonville team and I were thrilled to welcome Brig. Gen. Tyler, Col. Willison, Col. Kline and Capt. Hoak to Jacksonville. Their participation in our town hall and Toys for Tots kick-off, afforded me the opportunity to recognize some of our cornerstone and hard charging employees in the presence of senior leadership from our organization’s headquarters.” Palmer said. “Throughout the visit, the support from FRCSE and DLA Distribution Jacksonville was tremendous and really illuminated how our continued partnership and collaboration is critical to mission success.”

# DLA Aviation employee’s virtual ASL classes teach inclusion, diversity one sign at a time

/ Published June 3, 2022
Richmond, Va., 
While the pandemic eliminated virtually all in-person interactions, it did not eliminate the need for partially deaf and deaf individuals to understand — and be understood by — their hearing counterparts.

This need prompted Charlotte Bell, an American Sign Language interpreter in the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Office to develop an ASL Beginners’ Course, teaching her lessons online using the Zoom for Government web platform.

“I love the challenge of teaching online, and the need is there for both the deaf and hearing,” Bell said of her innovative approach. “I wanted to find a way to continue teaching the DLA workforce. The pandemic created a new kind of format for instruction, and I wasn’t going to let COVID be a barrier.”

Bell has been teaching in-person ASL and cultural sensitivity classes on Defense Supply Center Richmond, Virginia twice a year since 2005. Her students are DLA enterprise-wide and have included first responders and installation commanders, as well as civilian employees.

Bell said though technology is not her forte, learning to pivot and taking on the challenge “was so worth every moment learning how to teach in a new program.”

The virtual opportunity was equally worth it for Natisha Lawrence, a procurement analyst within DLA Aviation Procurement Process Support Directorate’s Acquisition Support Division, who has taken Bell’s course several times and was inspired to continue her ASL education.

"Sign language was something that I was always interested in, and I thoroughly enjoyed the classes,” Lawrence said.

In a recent note to Bell, Lawrence wrote, “In August of 2021, I finally took the leap and enrolled in an ASL certificate program.”

Bell said the six-week course, which wrapped up last month, also addresses the cultural differences between the deaf and hearing communities.

“It helps to broaden understanding and acceptance, making the environment truly inclusive for all,” Bell said.

“What I’m trying to do with the class is give hearing employees a new way of understanding the deaf and hard-of-hearing employees they work with or supervise. After getting out of their comfort zone and looking at life from another person’s perspective, it truly opens up the beauty of diversity and, most of all, inclusion.”

# Former DLA Disposition Services leader honored with Hall of Fame induction

/ Published June 14, 2021
FORT BELVOIR, Va., 
*Editor’s note: This is the third of nine stories featuring 2020 DLA Hall of Fame inductees. A video highlighting inductees’ contributions to the agency will be broadcast on DLA’s Facebook page June 23.*

Paul Mank began his government career as a property disposal intern in 1981 and went on to serve as Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services’ acting deputy director from November 2013 to April 2014. His 34 years of contributions to the agency have earned him posthumous induction into the 2020 DLA Hall of Fame.

Mank served in multiple managerial positions at various defense reutilization marketing offices, including the former regional headquarters office in Columbus, Ohio. 

As the director of operations, Mank oversaw a worldwide network of over 100 DRMS field offices and integrated stateside DRMO operations by creating three new hubs in Norfolk, Virginia; San Antonio, Texas; and Warner Robins, Georgia. 

DLA Disposition Services Customer Management Chief Sherry Low worked with Mank throughout her career but said in his nomination packet she got to know him best during the Most Efficient Organization initiative.

“The MEO team trusted and respected his opinions and guidance,” she wrote, adding that Mank was a great mentor whose strategic focus set a great example for herself and other team members. 

“Paul was one of the most open, honest and respected persons I’ve ever met,” Low continued. “I could always count on his sense of wit and humor to lighten the burden.”

According to the nomination, Mank assisted senior leaders through his environmental and information management expertise, as well as his knowledge of federal surplus property management and sales. He consistently earned praise for his innovative and analytical approach to solving disposal issues and for his ability to work across the enterprise and with external civilian agencies, Low wrote. 

Mank died in February 2016.*Editor's note: View Mank's segment of the 2020 DLA Hall of Fame ceremony video from June 23:*

    Changes
      to Director Compensation Arrangement

    


    Directors
      of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. also serve as directors of its subsidiary, Peoples
      Bank
      of Kent County, Maryland (the “Bank”), but they are compensated only for serving
      on the Bank’s Board and its committees. The fees paid to non-employee directors
      of the Bank are typically re-evaluated by the Bank’s Personnel/Compensation
      Committee in May of each year.
      On May
      24, 2006, the Bank’s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the
      Personnel/Compensation Committee, approved increases in the fees paid to
      non-employee directors for attending regular and committee meetings. Effective
      as of that date, non-employee directors of the Bank’s Board now receive $416
      (previously $390) for each regular Board meeting attended; the Chairman and
      the
      Secretary now receive $425 (previously $400) and $420 (previously $395),
      respectively, for each regular Board meeting attended; non-employee members
      of
      the Executive Committee now receive $280 (previously $265) for each committee
      meeting attended, except for the Chairman of that committee who now receives
      $290 (previously $275) for each committee meeting attended; and members of
      all
      other committees now receive $190 (previously $180) for each committee meeting
      attended. No change was made to the annual director retainer fee, which is
      $1,000. Directors who serve as trustees of the Bank’s Employee Retirement Plan
      and its Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan receive an annual retainer fee of $215
      (previously $200). Non-employee directors emeritus receive $208 per Board
      meeting attended, up from the $195 paid last year. Currently, E. Roy Owens
      is
      the only director emeritus.

# Pi Day event continues despite pandemic

/ Published March 15, 2021
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., 
While there may be fewer people working in the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center these days some still took time to observe a sweet tradition for Pi Day 2021.

Participants could walk, cycle or run to rack up the 3.14 miles that represents the numbers in the math symbol pi. Battle Creek Morale, Welfare and Recreation personnel organized their fifth annual observance, which gave participants from March 12 to 15 to log their miles. Some participants took to the streets and trails around the Federal Center March 12 as early as 7 a.m.

“I was glad to see people actually group together and run the River trail, and I think we’ll see more of this next year,” said Dan Roberts, a recreation assistant and personal trainer with MWR. “It seems as though people are remembering how important it is to support one another and help each other overcome challenges.”

Among those people was Stacey Pilling, DLA Disposition Services’ Resource Management director, who said it was great to get outside with a group to run the event.

“It builds camaraderie outside of the normal workplace environment,” Pilling said. “It has inspired me to see about starting an unofficial running group to meet at least once a month to go for a group run before work.”

DLA Disposition Services Acting Director Army Col. Franyate Taylor also enjoyed the chance to get out and run with others as a welcome event given current conditions. 

“Though our group was small, we enjoyed the cool air and the ability to just socialize with one another on a wonderful Michigan morning,” Taylor said. 

Andrew VanKoevering also appreciated the camaraderie and good weather. Like other participants he also enjoyed the free pie after the workout.

“It went great and was a good time,” VanKoevering said. “Everyone who participated seems to have enjoyed themselves.”

Schuyler Slone, a DLA Logistics Operations employee, likes the idea of having special events and days where activities are scheduled for workers. He believes it is good for morale and can help bring people together in tough times.

“So many of us are having a hard time with isolation in the current landscape of things, and to be able to have those little moments where, for even the slightest amount of time, you can smile, it’s huge,” Slone said. “It really helps makes things a bit easier. It was fun to be a part of it.”
