This was a fantastic episode, featuring two guests who talked about the Women's Initiative Team (WIT) project, but more than that, how to do common-sense barrier analysis to remove impediments to full and purposeful service for everyone in uniform. "That's how we've always done it" is not the answer! Major Alea Nadeem, United States Air Force, is a Congressional Budget and Appropriations Liaison assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force, Financial Management & Comptroller at the Pentagon. She also chairs the Department of the Air Force Women’s Initiative Team. Major Sharon Sisbarro, United States Marine Corps, currently serves as a Communications Strategy Officer in the Information Plans and Strategy office of the Deputy Commandant for Information. She recently provided executive support to the Department of Defense Board on Diversity and Inclusion for its six-month sprint. She is also the host of the “Marine WIT” podcast, available on SoundCloud here.

Our guests also referenced this piece on the impact of COVID-19 on military families.
