Message from Air Force Leaders
Fellow Airmen & Guardians,
Because of the high volume of participation in the Department of the Air Force Inspector General’s survey on gender, racial, and ethnic disparity, the suspense to complete the survey has been extended until 9 May at 2000 EST.
Tens of thousands of you have already completed the survey—thank you for your feedback and for contributing to this critical initiative. For those who have not, we ask you to share your experiences, views and concerns by participating in this survey. Your voice is critical to this ongoing independent IG review.
The Inspector General is also conducting more than 120 small-group discussions to capture your voice and those of Airmen and Guardians across the Air Force and Space Force.
Finally, if you can’t locate the link to the survey, you’ll receive it again between Wednesday and Friday of this week. Thank you again for helping create a better Air Force and Space Force.
John P. Roth
Acting Secretary of the Air Force
