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. MARFORCOM/MARFORNORTH MARFORPAC MARFORRES/MARFORSOUTH MARCENT MARFOREUR/AF I MEF II MEF III MEF MCI - WEST MCI - EAST MCI - PAC PA SCHOOL 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.
