GAIN - Education in a Military Community:
What You Need to Know
December 3, 2014 / 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
CC Headquarters Library / 300 Maiden Lane
The Army has informed military host communities that it
will factor local public education quality into its future
decisions about where to base soldiers. Businesses in our
region are very aware that more than 50 cents on each
dollar earned locally comes from military wages, and
understanding the customer base is a critical insight for
any business.
Partnering with the Army requires Cumberland County
to have the flexibility to manage large changes in
enrollment and the education standards to match other
school districts that host bases aross the US.
Your Chamber is convening this event to offer you
insights on exactly these topics. Get ready for a local
conversation about how the Cumberland County School
District makes it possible for our region to host one of the
largest military installations in the United States.
Guest speakers include: Eric Guckian, Governor
McCrory's Education Advisor, Major General (Retired)
Cornell Wilson, Governor McCrory's Military Advisor
Expert Panelists include: Reema Khrais, WUNC radio,
education reporter, Colonel Jeffrey Sanborn, Garrison
Commander, Fort Bragg, Major General (Retired) Bennie
Williams, former Chief of Staff for Baltimore public schools.
