From November 20, 2008 issue Allman serves key role in future of Air Force The Air Force Reserve Command Human Resources Development Council, (HRDC) hosted their bi-annual workshop in Atlanta, GA with the theme, "Faithful to a Proud Heritage." Colonel Mike Allman, 459 Air Refueling Wing (ARW) Vice Commander, participated in this Command-level workshop. Particpants in the workshop included Air Force Reserve leaders such as the Chief of Air Force Reserve, Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Reserve Matters, Numbered Air Force Commanders, AFRC Command Chief, and many other officer and enlisted senior leaders. Colonel Allman and his family reside in Edmond, Oklahoma, but both he and his wife Nancy (Fortuna) grew up on the southside of Indianapolis. His parents, Bill and Susie Allman and in-laws Frank and Eleanor Fortuna still live on the southside. He was recently assigned to the 459 ARW located on Andrews AFB, MD, near Washington D.C. Air Force Reserve unit HRDCs provided training and networking opportunities for reservists to learn more effective ways to address people-related issues that directly impact mission success. Other sessions sought better understanding of how to improve people-related issues for our Airmen. Units shared programs, processes and best practices. Through numerous senior command-level guests and speakers, the exchange of ideas and by celebrating this proud heritage, Air Force Reserve members left the workshop with more information and better equipped to face challenges.     The Spotlight 4217 S.
