Debra Hobbs, the
Federal Women’s Program (FWP) Manager for the Defense Supply
Center Columbus (DSCC) and Great Lakes Region, Equalitarian
Chapter member of Federally Employed Women (FEW), was appointed
as FEW’s National Special Assistant for the FWP.
Arlena
Fitch-Gordon, FEW’s National Vice President for Training,
nominated Ms. Hobbs for the position during FEW’s National Board
of Directors (NBOD) meeting in July when the position vacancy
was announced.
After a review
process, Hobbs was notified that she was selected to serve on
FEW’s NBOD in that position.
“My ultimate goal
is to ensure that the women here at DSCC know that I am their
voice,” Hobbs said. “Our mission is to positively impact the
employment, professional development and advancement of women
within federal agencies. I don’t take this lightly; I endeavor
to ensure that we complete this mission.”
Fitch-Gordon
stated that Hobbs has demonstrated her dedicated commitment to
the professional development and advancement of women within the
Defense Logistics Agency. She added that DSCC has one of the
best FWPs within the United States under the leadership of Equal
Employment Opportunity Office Manager Charles Palmer.
During the
selection process, Sue Webster, FEW’s National President,
contacted Hobbs and requested that she provide some information
such as her involvement with FEW and her vision of how she
believes that FEW and FWP should work together. She also asked
Hobbs to submit a short write-up describing why she should be
selected for the position.
Hobbs’ proposal
was considered along with submissions from other candidates for
review and selection. Webster told Hobbs that this is an
important position for FEW at this vital time as FEW has been
working hard to raise visibility in this area.
Fitch-Gordon offered
her congratulations to Hobbs for “being appointed to this very
prestigious position.”
