“Hosting DLA senior leaders is an opportunity to showcase DDNV’s diverse DLA mission sets and capabilities which, in some cases, don’t exist anywhere else within the Defense Department outside of DLA Distribution Norfolk, Virginia,” said DDNV’s Commander, Navy Capt. Justin Lewis.

Having two senior leaders visit in the span of a week afforded an extraordinary and rare opportunity to showcase DDNV’s talents to senior leaders.

“While Mr. Bunn and Dr. Duchak certainly ’got their steps in,’ they were also provided the opportunity to see first-hand our alignment to DLA’s Strategic Plan, at a pretty tactical level. Most importantly, our people loved seeing these two leaders on-site, taking the time to learn and ask questions about opportunities to improve the workplace and provide support to the warfighter always.”
