Graphic of women leaders at Army CID

Recognizing the pivotal role of women leaders at Army CID and in the workplace.  

Who We Are: CID Women in the Workforce
This is part of a series that will highlight the diverse careers within CID. The goal of the series is to establish a powerful practice that fosters inclusion, empathy, and understanding of the diverse career paths within CID.
 
Highlighting the Significance of Women in Leadership Roles at CID
While we will be highlighting the myriad of career profiles within CID, this feature will spotlight our senior management (GS-15) women leaders, their stories and perspective on CID leadership.  Recognizing the pivotal role of women in the workplace is essential for fostering diversity, innovation, and a more inclusive professional environment.

Embracing and empowering women leaders not only contributes to individual growth but also enhances organizational success by harnessing a wealth of diverse perspectives and talents.  Diverse leadership brings varied viewpoints, enriches decision-making processes, and serves as a catalyst for positive change within organizations. In sharing career stories, it can break down barriers, show commonalities, foster trust, build a sense of belonging and encourage collaboration. 

 
In the law enforcement arena, our diversity complements each other, and we gain a tactical advantage during operations. The combined skills enhance problem-solving, communication, adaptability, and investigative strength.  Women constitute a small but growing percentage within the law enforcement leadership arena.  

Here are some of their stories:
