This coming Monday, October 14 will mark the opening ceremony for AUSA’s annual meeting and exposition in Washington, D.C. We at the Harding Project will have a kiosk and several events and panels throughout the weekend. Please follow our LinkedIn account for live updates and stop by if you’re planning to attend!
Many of our Harding Fellows will occupy the booth and will be available to answer any and all Harding-related questions. These Fellows are a wealth of knowledge and can assist with the integration of Army writing and publishing from the unit to the individual level. If you are interested in learning more about our website, Line of Departure, launching on Friday, the booth is a great starting point!
