On Thursday , the TRADOC , AFC , FORSCOM , and AMC senior enlisted leaders shared insights on how their organizations are addressing Secretary of the Army Wormuth’s objectives laid out in a recent “Message to the Force” and how nominative leaders play an important role in helping their units accomplish those goals . This week also saw members of the Senior Enlisted Spouse Council come together to discuss family programs and assess aspects of the Nominative Spouse Seminar curriculum . Similar to the SEC’s engagements with NLC , the NSS participants benefited from their interactions with SESC members learning more about the informal leadership roles nominative spouses play in Army organizations assisting Soldiers and Families . USAWC Professor of Executive Communication , Dr .
