ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England--RAF Lakenheath has started its second year of Leadership Connect on Sept. 23, 2022 at Norwich City Football Club. Leadership Connect is a deliberate leadership development program bringing together highly respected community leaders from various backgrounds in East Anglia to share their unique leadership insights with a select group of USAF leaders from each of the UK-Based wings.
“We were delighted to host the Leadership Connect Group at The Lotus Training Centre again to kick-off the 2022-23 schedule,” said Neil Adams, assistant sporting director at Norwich City Football Club. “Last year’s Leadership Connect programme proved to be so successful, enjoyable, and beneficial for everyone involved, and it certainly proved invaluable to us in terms of the knowledge that we acquired through the sharing of information and opinion across such a wide range of relevant topics. We are certainly looking forward to continuing this excellent collaboration and friendship for the forthcoming programme, and hopefully for what also proves to be many more years to come.”
Leadership Connect is a targeted leadership development program officially launched on Oct. 6, 2021 with a group of USAF participants selected from each of the UK-based wings. The class is made up of field grade officers, senior non-commissioned officers, and their civilian counterparts. To enhance partnerships, the 2022-2023 program welcomes an RAF Officer from RAF Honington, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, and the Norfolk Constabulary that will share in this experience along the U.S. Visiting Forces class members.
"We are looking forward to the year ahead! Leadership Connect provides a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for class members to gain new leadership insights from UK leaders across a variety of organizations. This unique program strengthens our connection to the East Anglia community while developing leaders. I look forward to seeing class members apply the broader leadership perspectives they gain to enhance the organizations they lead across all USAF wings!" Brig. Gen. Joseph Campo, 48th Fighter Wing Commander.
The program will visit a variety of organizations to meet with a wide range of leaders, with one visit per month until the graduation ceremony, slated for May 2023. Local government, academia, emergency services, sustainable tourism and zoological, and sporting to ensure a varied approach, with broad perspectives and opinions on leadership. The next "connect day" is scheduled for Downing College Cambridge on Oct. 21, 2022.
