FORT SNELLING, Minn. - Twenty-eight Army Reserve Ambassadors joined together in collaboration during an ARA Regional Training Workshop held by the 88th Regional Support Command on Fort Snelling, Minnesota, May 15.
Army Reserve Ambassadors (or ARAs) develop awareness and advocacy with community leaders and are vitally important bridges to communities across the Nation. They function at the state and local level and voluntarily represent the Chief of the Army Reserve without salary, wages or other benefits.
ARAs educate the public, community leaders and congressional staff offices about the capabilities and value of the AR and its Soldiers. They establish open lines of communication within these communities to help establish mutually supporting relationships with community leaders and community organizations.
Maj. Gen. Karen Ledoux, 88th RSC commanding general, began the workshop by discussing strategic initiatives. Staff members of the 88th RSC then reviewed issues and responsibilities within the command’s 19-state region. In addition, the ARAs were briefed on strategic communication by the Army Reserve Communications director, rankling Childress.
