The incoming executive director, Carol E. Lowman has served as ACC's deputy director since November 2009. "I am excited and humbled by this opportunity," Lowman said. "ACC's workforce plays a crucial role in providing our Soldiers what they need to accomplish their mission. I look forward to helping the command continue its growth and development."
