ANSO to host Annual Eastern Region Symposium
By
| Marine Forces Command | August 24, 2015
The 2015 Eastern Region Symposium will be held 8 September
at the Vista Point Conference Center on Naval Station Norfolk.
The annual symposium is hosted by the Association of
Naval Services Officers (ANSO). This
year’s symposium theme is “Taking Charge of Your Career and Future.”
ANSO’s mission is to assist the Sea Services Chiefs’
efforts in Hispanic workforce recruitment and retention by fostering the
personal growth and professional development of officers, enlisted, and
civilians; providing mentoring, networking, training, and educational
opportunities; and engaging the Hispanic community through outreach
initiatives.
Navy-funded participation has been approved for the symposium.
All Navy-funded registrations will be
coordinated through the Navy Office of Diversity and Inclusion (OPNAV N134),
and will require participation in pre and post-event surveys. While all Sailors are eligible, ideal
candidates for the symposium include outstanding officers and enlisted who are
at a career decision point.
One travel request is permitted for each of the 30
type commands and system commands. Travel
will be funded through individual commands; however, OPNAV N134 will provide
the registrations. Service members must
first seek approval from OPNAV N134 if they wish to travel. Travel shall not exceed $1500 per person. Commands outside of the 30 approved travelers
shall not fund registrations, and are not authorized to fund lodging,
transportation, meals and incidental expenses.
Lunch will be provided on 8 September 2015 for those
in attendance. Non-provided meals must
be purchased by the attendee. The
uniform will be service khaki for E7 and above and service uniform for E6 and
below.
