Happy Friday to you and thanks for tuning in to another fabulous edition of Military Spouse Talk Radio. 

Remember around the corner or around the globe, this is the place where the voice of the military spouse can be heard, “Sharing our stories, up close and personal”, I am your host, Victoria Parham coming to you from beautiful Emporia, Virginia.   

Today we are talking about a very popular topic in the Army community, "Army Spouse Employment", more specifically the Army Spouse Employment Partnership program.  The Army Spouse Employment Partnership, now in its third year, was developed to provide Army Spouses with increased employment and career opportunities. 

Partners of the ASEP program pledge their best efforts to increase employment opportunities for Army spouses and resources for corporate America and to facilitate the employment of Army spouses to the mutual benefit of the Army and corporations. The partners also pledge to publicize the agreement throughout their companies. 

This initiative began in May 2002 when then Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki directed the U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center to establish and enhance collaborative partnerships with public and private sector companies to create career and training opportunities for military spouses. 

Joining me today by telephone to talk more about this initiative is Ms. Delores Johnson, Director of Family Programs, MWR Command.
