    Adm. Daryl Caudle, Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC), hosts a roundtable with congressional, local and senior military leaders at USFFC headquarters on Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads in Norfolk, Virginia. Adm. Caudle is hosting this roundtable to discuss continued efforts on community development in Hampton Roads. These discussions are on-going initiatives to Navy’s long-standing commitment to ensuring quality of service, including quality of life and quality of work, meet the highest standards.

    “Quality of life and quality of work continue to be the center of leaderships’ attention,” said Adm. Caudle. “The goal for today was to clearly define measurable and actionable objectives in a collaborative setting to not only talk about it, but to act and influence change on voiced deficiencies and concerns from our Sailors and community. Together, Navy and community leadership are committed to prioritizing our personnel and their quality of service - both in and out of the workplace.”

    Roundtable attendees included members of Congress and local Virginia leaders and staff members: staff members from Governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin’s office; staff members from Virginia Senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner’s offices; Congresswoman Jen Kiggans representing 2nd District of Virginia; Congressman Rob Wittman representing 1st District of Virginia; Phillip Jones, Mayor of Newport News; and Bobby Dyer, Mayor of Virginia Beach.

Scott Gray, Commander, Navy Installations Command and Rear Adm. Wesley McCall, Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic.
