Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Cannon Air Force Base has partnered with the cities of Clovis and Portales to create sub-committees focused on improving quality of life for Airmen and their families.
According to a news report from the Cannon Public Affairs office, the base’s Air and Space Force civic leader, David Robinson, said, “Our job as a committee is to support Cannon Air Force Base, its Airmen and their families.”
Robinson says with the committee’s support in the areas of education, spousal license portability, childcare, medical availability, and affordable housing “the community can ensure that Airmen and their families are not asked to sacrifice their quality of life.”
The report describes the committee’s efforts are part of the Air Force Five & Thrive initiative, which focuses on improving five quality of life areas: safe and affordable housing, medical care, spouse employment, education and childcare.
U.S. Air Force Col. Terence G. Taylor, 27th Special Operations Wing commander said, “We are working closely with our community partners to ensure we address these Five & Thrive initiatives that impact our daily lives here at Cannon Air Force Base. We are headed in the right direction.”
