'Walk and Talk' program
gaining popularity
by Mark H. Wiggins, Managing Editor
CGSC Foundation Director of Development
Joan Cabell has been busy over the previous months
coordinating the informal tours of Fort Leavenworth and
the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College that
Foundation CEO Doug Tystad dubbed "Walk and Talks."
The Walk and Talk program has continued to be a popular
medium for Kansas City area business leaders and other
groups to learn about the post and the college and in recent
months Cabell has coordinated visits for eight different
groups.
"I've always said I can talk until I'm blue in the face,"
said Cabell, "But when we bring people up here to see
Fort Leavenworth and CGSC in person, they're always
very surprised and that's when they get it. They learn that
Leavenworth isn't just a prison after all and that great
things happen here to educate leaders for the nation."
Cabell is currently working on the schedule of walk
and talk visits for the upcoming months. The visits are
typically on the second Thursday of each month with some
variances based on availability of CGSC personnel who
assist with a briefing or a classroom tour during the visits.
She also works to get Foundation trustees involved to help
lead the visits.
"For the entire year of 2017, we have had 132 people
from 35 corporations, two universities, two library systems,
two churches and one state office," Cabell said. "And those
were just the tours I was personally involved with."
The standard walk and talk experience includes a tour
of the Fort Leavenworth post and learning about its rich
history through the old historic buildings, landmarks and
monuments and the national cemetery. After the post tour,
the visitors are brought to the Lewis and Clark Center
to tour the Command and General Staff College, which
includes viewing the Fort Leavenworth Hall of Fame and
International Hall of Fame displays, the various art displays
and more. The tours also typically include a briefing about
Army leader development and how CGSC fits into that
process, as well as a visit to a standard CGSC classroom
to get a technology demonstration. Occasionally, the
Foundation coordinates for the visitors to get a chance to
participate in hands-on computer simulations.
Contact the CGSC Foundation Director of Development
