Defense Writers Group

Moderator: Good morning everyone. Welcome to this Defense Writers Group session. I’m incredibly honored that we’re having as our guest speaker General Hokanson, the Chief of the National Guard. The General and I were speaking downstairs, it’s been five years since a National Guard Chief has met with the Defense Writers group and I can’t imagine a more timely or valuable speaker for us to have today.
I thank all of you for joining us today. There’s been some questions, we will have some events on Zoom, but we’re going to try to be back in person as much as possible because the poll that Chloe and I conducted in June when I took over as Director, people wanted the camaraderie and the in-person, so it’s great that you’re here. But if you have colleagues who are still uncomfortable traveling, tell them we will be doing more Zoom events as well.
General, it’s truly an honor to have you here today. Thank you so much.
