THE IGP HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN RAPIDLY AND SYSTEMATICALLY IDENTIFYING SERVICE LEVEL CHALLENGES TO UNIT READINESS, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND COMPLIANCE TO REGULATIONS. OUR THEME FOR THIS YEAR'S SYMPOSIUM WILL BE "TO ENABLE THE OPERATIONAL READINESS OF THE MARINE CORPS." TODAY, MORE THEN EVER, WE FIND THAT MATTERS OF RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABLY ARE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF POSITIVE, INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP, ORGANIZATIIONAL DISCIPLINE, AND DAILY ENGAGEMENT BY COMMANDERS AND SENIOR ENLISTED ADVISORS.

THE SYMPOSIUM WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL BRIEFS AND INFORMATION EXCHANGE TO COMMAND INSPECTORS GENERALS (CIG).
