29 Sep 14 - Brown Bag Lunch Attendees

Question:  Several times in the last several years I have asked to go to these “Brown Bag Lunches” and have been told that I couldn’t because the attendees have already been selected.  What is the purpose of this if management “selects” who they want to go?  If there is nothing to hide then why not open it up to volunteers or those who have an issue?  Also, due to reprisal, some are scared to go.  Can topics and issues discussed, be shared with all in the directorate so those not in attendance can know what is going on?  How do I know this question is being addressed or is it shredded before being discussed at the meeting?

Answer: No one should be selected to attend Brown Bag Lunches.  I hope that everyone who came today did so because they wanted to and wanted to have lunch with me.  All Brown Bag questions are answered and posted on the Team Stewart website under the DA Civilian TAB at the top of the screen.  You can view Q&A’s from any of the previous Brown Bag Lunches.
