State Partnership team has opening for Air Guardsman

It seems to be a well kept secret - working in the State Partnership Program (SPP). The state of Georgia has a partnership with the country of Georgia. The partnership has been in existence since May 1995.  State Partnership is a National Guard program and as of May 2006 there are 51 countries linked to 43 states and two territories. The program is designed to promote relationships between  the U.S. and nations of the former eastern bloc, as well as other developing nations. Currently, Georgia's program includes a team of three members working in Joint Operations at Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

Major Elizabeth Baker was recently selected to attend Air Command and Staff College in-residence, which will leave a opening  in the SPP group. She will be gone for nearly one year, and SPP needs a new Air National Guard member to replace her while she’s out. If you’re interested in joining this team, please contact Maj. Matthew Saxton by at DSN.753.3906 or 678-569.3948. Or email him at matthew.saxton@us.army.mil.
