AAC offers Airmen chance to get involved Published Feb. 27, 2008 By Staff Sgt. Joel Mease 7th Bomb Wing Public Affairs DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Getting to know leadership, opportunities to be involved in the community, meeting new friends, and advocating quality of life issues are all potential benefits of joining a club: the Airmen's Advisory Council. The AAC offers Airmen from pay grades E-1 - E4 a chance to play a more active role in the Airman culture, said Senior Airman Anna Norris, AAC president. "We offer an avenue where you can get involved with the base community right away," Airman Norris said. "We participate in activities that help Airmen or the local community." Among the activities the AAC has planned is working with the Dyess Elementary Jump Rope for Heart, bi-weekly social events for Airmen at the club, and a murder mystery dinner for the base populace, Airman Norris said. One of the benefits of being an active member is getting a better understanding of how base leadership works, said Airman 1st Class Nicole Sanders, AAC vice president. "Not only do you get to meet some of the base leaders and see what their role on base is, but it also helps you develop leadership skills," Airman Sanders said. Getting the opportunity to visit with base leadership also allows your voice to be heard on quality of life issues, because leadership often wants to hear what concerns Airmen have, Airman Norris said. Airmen don't have to wait around to get involved, Airman Norris said. The AAC meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month at the Hangar Center Ballroom at 3 p.m. For more information on the club, contact the AAC at AACofficers@dyess.af.mil.
