Members of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Regional Task Force, at Fort Bragg, visited Central Carolina Community College’s Lee County Campus July 1 to tour the campus and become more familiar with some of the college’s offerings. During the tour, Renee Lane (left), BRAC RTF communications outreach coordinator, and Dr. Jane Smith, BRAC RTF education program manager, learn about mold creation by the college’s machining students from Glenn Shearin (back, left), tool and die instructor; student Mike Amatucci (back, center) and Dr. Stephen Athans (right), dean of vocational & technical programs. The BRAC RTF is a partnership of representatives of the 11 counties and 73 municipalities around Fort Bragg-Pope Air Force Base. Its goal is to facilitate a smooth transition for the region as Fort Bragg grows to include the U.S. Army Forces Command and Reserve Command, which are being relocated from Fort McPherson, Ga. Part of that transition is determining educational resources in the area. Not pictured, but on the tour, was Tim Moore, BRAC RTF workforce program manager.
