GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This MARADMIN solicits nominations for the core 
members identified in the Manpower and Personnel Administration (MPA) 
Board Charter.
2.  Reference (a) is the MPA Board Charter signed on 15 November 
2024, which establishes a formalized infrastructure to guide and 
govern the Manpower and Personnel Administration (MPA) community. By 
creating a multi-tiered board structure—comprising the Executive 
Steering Group (ESG), Administrative Advisory Board (AAB), and 
Administrative Advisory Group (AAG)—the charter ensures strategic 
alignment, efficient decision-making, and clear communication across 
all levels of the MPA community. In alignment with Marine Corps 
Talent Management initiatives, this formalized board enhances 
lethality while addressing the complexities of modern administrative 
demands, streamlining processes, and creating a unified approach to 
support Marine Corps objectives.
3.  The MPA Board’s effectiveness as a communication forum and 
decision-making body relies on the regular contribution of advisory 
members at every level, representing departments, agencies, and units 
across the Marine Corps enterprise.  The AAB is a critical component 
of the MPA Board, responsible for gathering and providing 
comprehensive feedback from Fleet Marine Force and supporting 
establishment units regarding initiatives that directly impact their 
commands. The AAB votes on initiatives submitted from stakeholders 
across the Total Force to the AAG and ensures the MPA Board’s 
priorities are executed, ensuring that perspectives from across the 
force are incorporated into the decision-making process.  Final 
recommendations are forwarded to the ESG for review or returned to 
the AAG for further refinement and staffing.
3.a.  The MPA Board seeks one command representative from the list 
below to serve on the AAB. The nominee must have the authority to 
make decisions on behalf of their command, ensure their unit’s 
perspectives and priorities are accurately reflected in the AAB's 
deliberations, and commit to participating in all scheduled AAB 
meetings and related activities.  The below commands shall submit 
a primary and alternate nominee for the AAB.

3.b.  The expectations for nominees are that they will actively 
contribute to discussions and decision-making processes, serve as 
a Core Member, representing their command throughout their 
assignment, participate in quarterly meetings, including initial 
in-person sessions and virtual follow-ups, and meet all preparation 
requirements (e.g., reviewing agendas and Read-A-Heads), and Notify 
the AAB Chair in advance if unable to attend a meeting and provide 
input before the meeting to ensure representation.
3.c.  At this time, all engagements for the AAB’s quarterly meetings 
will be conducted on Microsoft Teams. If an in-person meeting is 
deemed required, travel costs for in-person meetings will be funded 
by the nominee’s parent command. Meeting agendas, dates, and other 
logistical details will be provided no later than 60 days before any 
in-person meeting.
3.d.  New members will receive orientation materials, including the 
MPA Board Charter, AAB Business Rules, and other foundational 
documents.  After nominations are received, the MARADMIN POCs will 
familiarize members with the AAB’s structure, processes, and 
expectations.
4. Submission Timeline.  Nomination packages will be submitted no 
later than 14 February 2025 via MS Forms at: 
https://forms.osi.apps.mil/r/kb4njdXyTj.  G-1 representatives may 
either contact the MARADMIN POCs or submit a request via the above 
link to gain access to the Forms Page.
5. This MARADMIN is applicable to the Marine Corps Total Force.

Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.//
