foster dialogue and collaboration that can pave the way for military

spouse hiring both internally and in partnership with private entities. 
This conversation will focus on the DoD's existing resources for 
spouses, processes that need to change to increase DoD and Component

of available resources. Participants will include the USD (P&R), the 
Assistant Secretary for Manpower and Reserve Affairs of each Military 
Department, the Director of the Defense Human Resources Activity, other 
officials of the DoD the Secretary of Defense determines appropriate, 
and private entities that participate.
