Remote? Click here for the Link the the Teams Live Event (Workstation Only).

The Culinary Specialist Senior Leadership Conference (CSSLC) will include an E7 and above CS Senior Leadership Round Table. Almost all Senior Leadership components are sending a representative (or three) to the Senior Leadership Conference. This is incredible news! What this means is the Senior Leadership Round Table presenters will be live and in-person at TRACEN Petaluma on Tuesday the 27th of September from 0730 – 1200. So far, in person presenters include RFMC, SPL, AOs, CG-1113, A-School, C-School, RKM, SCA Program and FINCEN. If you are an E7 and above in Northern California please join us in person for this unprecedented (post-COVID) event. We will be capitalizing on our visit at TRACEN to include Lunch with the students and an RTAC TRACEN CS Training Space tour.

If you can’t make it in person we will follow the success and format of Mr. Wernicke and SCSC Wright’s Assignment Officer Road Show and offer a video feed live over teams.  In-person would be ideal but this will allow everyone to participate if travel options are unavailable. As with the AO Road Show, we will record the event and provide a video link to all CSs after the conference.

If you (all ranks E-1 – O-10) have Questions to ask Senior Leadership (especially on the topics below) please enter your question at the bottom of this page in the leave a comment block. We will address these questions and provide all CSs with the response (thank you!).
