*a SUBJECT: ICMA/ U.S. ARMY INSTALLATION COMMAND FELLOWSHIP
rr' PROGRAM
During the week of July 9-13, the City of Fort Worth will be hosting Keith Gogas (Lieutenant Colonel, USA,
Retired), Deputy Garrison Commander for Fort Hood, Texas, as part of a program sponsored by the U.S. Army
and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). This program, known as the Installation
Command Fellowship Program, seeks to provide the civilian managers of selected Army garrisons with on-the-
job training in city management and community relations on the premise that managing a military installation is
much like managing a city.
The City of Fort Worth is one of ten local governments—nine cities and one county—that ICMA has selected to
participate this year in the Installation Command Fellowship Program. You may recall that Fort Worth served
as a pilot for this program in May 2015, when we hosted a similar visit by Colonel G. Scott Taylor before he
began his service as Garrison Commander for Fort Irwin, California.
During his week in Fort Worth, Colonel Gogas will be meeting with many City officials and civic leaders,
observing business meetings,touring various City facilities, and participating in other activities that are relevant
to his work at Fort Hood. The following are some of the items on his schedule:
