Army boastswomen’s inclusion

in armed forcesBy Damien Salas

Pentagram Staff Writer

The Office of the AdministrativeAssistant to the Secretary of the Army,Directorate of Equal EmploymentOpportunity, celebrated Women’sEquality Day at the Pentagon inArlington, VA Aug. 27.The day, first introduced in 1971

by Congress, recognizes Aug. 26every year to commemorate the 1920passage of the 19th Amendment tothe Constitution, giving women theright to vote.“When you look across the country,

the military has led the way manytimes for equality,” said Maj. Gen.Jeffrey Buchanan, commander ofJoint Force Headquarters- NationalCapital Region andMilitary Districtof Washington, in an interview withthe Pentagram. “Equal work for equalpay, we have that, but in many otherplaces around the country, we don’t.”The U.S. military gives women

the same opportunities as men, butthere is still a ways to go for the entirecountry, said Buchanan.“The United States has come a

long way since before the days whenwomen had the right to vote,” saidBuchanan. “Women play an abso-lutely critical role in our military andhave been performing brilliantly overthe last decade-plus in our years inconflict and perform critical rolesthroughout.”Keynote speaker Tinisha

Agramonte, assistant administrator,Diversity Inclusion and Civil Rights,U.S. Small Business Administration,gave a speech entitled “Let go, LeanIn and Lift Up: Deprived Equalityfor Anyone is a Threat to Equalityfor Everyone.”According to Agramonte, inclusive-

ness within the military is inherentwhen Soldiers live by their core values.“The Army has made tremendous

strides with being inclusive in notonly women in the civilian corps,but also active duty Soldiers,” saidAgramonte in an interview with thePentagram. “A woman entering ourU.S. military forces today needsto remember that she has alreadydemonstrated courage by enlisting orbeing commissioned to come in andserve her country, and rely on thatconfidence and commitment to serveher throughout her military career.”National Capital Region commu-

nity members employed by the federalgovernment attended the event insupport of Agramonte and all women

in the work place, including TeresaBailey, architect of the Capitol, chiefhuman capital officer, and friendof Agramonte.“Women bring a lot to the table,”

said Bailey. “Events like these high-light those contributions and effortsof women, while also looking at someof the challenges that we have to

face as moms, as grandmothers, andachieving work-life balance and all ofthe other things we have to addressas women in the workplace.”JBM-HH celebrated Women’s
