Officers, civilians selected for developmental education Published Oct. 22, 2007 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- More than 950 officers and civilians were recently selected to attend intermediate and senior developmental education programs during the academic 2008 to 2009 year, Air Force Personnel Center officials here recently announced. The list of primaries and alternates will be posted to the Air Force Portal, force development community of practice no earlier than Oct. 19. The Developmental Education Designation Board met Oct. 10 to 11 to select line and nonline officers and civilians to attend in-residence developmental education. The DEDB process began this spring when senior raters/endorsers nominated officers and civilians for developmental education. These nominees were then forwarded to developmental teams who deliberately vectored/selected military primary candidates and alternates for intermediate and senior developmental education, and vectored civilian candidates to civilian developmental education programs. Developmental teams used each candidate's development plan to understand the candidate's and senior rater's/endorser's desires about the next best developmental assignment and future career plans. Line officers nominated to the DEDB by their developmental teams and not selected as primary designees were identified as alternates. Alternates may be eligible for possible supplemental school selection. Additional IDE/SDE officer and CDE civilian program information is accessible on the AFPC Web site.
