AFGE’s Defense Conference (DEFCON) has created a new caucus to focus on issues affecting health care workers throughout the Department of Defense.
The new Medical Personnel Caucus was approved by members attending the AFGE Defense Conference Feb. 3-5 in Washington. It replaces a previous DEFCON working group for health care professionals that had been established in 2011.
AFGE Locals representing Defense medical workers selected the following officers to lead the new caucus: Paul Ferris, co-vice chair; Felicia Sharp, chair; and Katrise Newman, co-vice chair (above photo, left to right).
The new caucus will help elevate workplace and representation issues affecting the growing DoD medical community, which cuts across each of the military services.
DEFCON also selected new leaders for several existing caucuses during its annual legislative conference in Washington. The new officers are:
