RAF Mildenhall to host Caring for People forum Published Sept. 3, 2013 By Ellen M. Fields 100th Air Refueling Wing community support coordinator RAF MILDENHALL, England -- The 100th Air Refueling Wing will host a Caring for People forum, consisting of several focus groups, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 17, 2013, in the chapel on RAF Mildenhall, England. The Air Force established the Caring for People forum in 2009 as a method for an installation commander to receive community feedback for review, action and resolution. At RAF Mildenhall, this forum allows Airmen, dependents, retirees and employees within the Department of Defense, non-appropriated funds offices, the Ministry of Defence and the Local National Direct Hire program to voice their concerns, develop recommendations and forward suggestions on policy and support services to senior leaders. The objective is to have representation from the entire RAF Mildenhall community: males and females, officers and enlisted, single and married, active-duty members and civilians, spouses and those with or without children. Those who volunteer for this year's forum will participate in one of the following seven focus groups: Family Support, Health and Wellness, Deployment Support, Spouse Communication, Single Airmen Support, School Support and Special Needs Family Support. To volunteer for the Caring for People forum, or for more information, contact Ellen Fields through email at ellen.fields@us.af.mil or by telephone by dialing DSN 238-3081 or commercial 01638-543081.
