Their participation reinforced the value of mentorship and the enduring role of AG leaders in developing the next generation of HR professionals

Presentation of the COL Rob Manning Award to SGM Nathan Bryant.
Awarding of the Horatio Gates Bronze Medal to CW2(P) Tiffany Woods, recognizing her outstanding contributions to the Corps.

With five MACOMs located across the San Antonio and Austin, TX region, the Alamo Chapter continues to play an influential role in supporting HR professionals. Importantly, the Alamo Chapter and Lone Star Chapter are working hand-in-hand to promote HR excellence and prepare their communities for anticipated Army organizational restructuring. Together, they are ensuring that AGCRA Chapters remain vital resources for information, mentorship, and professional support.
The Alamo Chapter’s 3rd Quarter LPD was another clear demonstration of the value of community, mentorship, and professional development—hallmarks of the AGCRA mission.
