NFBPWC Military Affiliated Women Committee Chair 

My name is Nicole Callender Sedon and a member of the NFBPW Pennsylvania Affiliate.  I have accepted the opportunity to chair the Military-Affiliated Women Committee. In  2021 I retired from the Army National Guard, after two decades of service as a non commissioned officer in the Ordnance Corps., I am proud to be one of the 300,000 women  who are combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan during Operation Iraqi Freedom and  Operation Enduring Freedom. 

I am currently a Human Resources Specialist for the Department for the Army Civilian  Workforce, working remotely from my home in Northeast Pennsylvania. I share that home with my husband,  two children and four dogs. 

Women have over 200 years of history of military service, even if it wasn’t always recognized as such. I look  forward to using this platform to recognize women who have enlisted or commissioned into the services and the family and friends who have supported them.
