HANSCOM AFB, Mass.–Hanscom Federal Credit Union joined a list of sponsors supporting the Air Force Anniversary Ball in Burlington, Mass.
The event was held at the Boston Marriott in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force. Attendees included a number of military dignitaries, including many from Hanscom Air Force Base.
“It’s an honor to be part of this celebration,” said Hanscom FCU board chairman Paul Marotta, one of seven toastmasters for the evening. “For the past seventy years, men and women have shared their dedication and talents to build the U.S. Air Force to be second to none. It’s important to take time to recognize these contributions.”
Separately, Hanscom FCU once again helped future noncommissioned officers celebrate completion of Airman Leadership School (ALS). The class, held at Hanscom Air Force Base, qualifies service members from the Air Force, Coast Guard, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve to be supervisors.
Over five weeks, participants study academics, hone their leadership skills, and participate in team exercises. The course prepares Airmen for the next step in their career with the Air Force.
“Airman Leadership School helps young Airmen develop lifelong leadership skills,” said Marotta. “Wherever they go, the students will have resources to overcome obstacles and succeed.”
