The Annual ANSO Professional Development and Training Symposium will bring together Hispanic officers, civilian executives, enlisted personnel, and other senior leaders in the US Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard & Industry to learn from, network with, and mentor one another, as well as conduct professional development training. Our diversity efforts focus on identifying, recruiting & retaining Hispanics in our Nation's Sea Services, and on establishing community outreach programs that will develop close relationships with Hispanic centers of influence. Participants are encouraged to share ideas, network, and enjoy the benefits of a great professional leadership conference.

This annual event has grown incredibly both in size and scope. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with nationally recognized speakers, as well as military leadership, flag officers, general officers, and state elected officials, to include, Admiral Gary Roughead (Chief of Naval Operations), General James T. Conway (Commandant of the Marine Corps), ADM R. J. Papp. Jr. (Prospective Commandant of the Coast Guard), and the Honorable Juan Garcia, Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs).

The week-long conference is a platform where officers, and those hoping to pursue an officer track, will hear the latest developments in military leadership, technology, discuss best practices, learn from expert colleagues, and explore issues surrounding diversity in the workplace. In addition, they will learn about the trends in promotions and manpower initiatives from the sea services. ANSO develops ownership, mentoring skills, and participation in educational sessions and events. This exceptional military leadership exposition will equip you with the tools to succeed. Come explore a world of ideas and innovation with your peers in government and industry, and meet some of the best military leaders in the world. Attending the Annual ANSO Professional Development and Training Symposium is the highlight of the year, as well as an inspiration to college bound students, and those willing to enter military service.
