Senior Airman Tanner Morales, a gradate from the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy and an aerospace propulsion technician in the 124th Maintenance Squadron, spoke about what he has learned after graduating from the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy pertaining to diversity inclusion. “I don’t see people as what I am physically seeing standing in front of me, but I see them as what I can learn about them and learn from them,” said Morales. “I like the fact that I can fall back on someone that thinks differently than me. If I have a problem that needs to be solved, I may not be approaching it the right way, and having a person that has a different background than me may have a different way on how they articulate their thoughts. That to me is very valuable.” The Idaho National Guard hosted a Joint Diversity Executive Council conference on April 30 in Boise to combine forces with key military and civil leaders from 14 states, one territory and the National Guard Bureau on the important topic of diversity inclusion and to discuss solutions for stomping discrimination within their workplaces.
