Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station --  United States Secretary of Defense Roberts Gates is asking all DoD military and civilian employees for their ideas on how the Department can be more efficient and effective. The Air Force strongly supports the Secretary's overall campaign for greater efficiency, and encourages members to submit their ideas for consideration at www.defense.gov/invest. Ideas both small and large are welcome, and they can be for Air Force, another component, or a Department as a whole. Only active duty, reserve component, and civilian personnel are eligible to participate.

This year's contest is from August 9 to September 24, 2010. By October 15, each Military Department will forward the top twenty five INVEST idea awards to DoD. On 31 Oct 10, DoD will announce the final twenty-five award winners from the aggregate collection of ideas they received from all components. Award winners will receive cash awards ranging from $500 to $1,000.

All Airmen can take advantage of this opportunity to offer their best ideas. All ideas will be evaluated without your name attached, so please be candid.

An important reminder to all is that classified information should not be included in any submission.
