What Past Attendees of ROA professional development events
have said:


"From day one, the hands-on officer professional development and interactive speakers made a lasting impression on me. I will take this experience with me forever."


"Every JO can benefit from JOPDS - I will be sure to carry this message back to my commander and my unit. JOPDS was an excellent opportunity to expose JOs to senior leaders and potential mentors."


"The information I received here is priceless in helping us with our careers and professional growth - ROA, thank you."
