One of the best ways to get feedback is face-to-face.

Garrison directors and Partners in Excellence brought the public up to speed on past events and gave them a look at what to expect during the next quarter of fiscal year 2025 during the 2nd Quarter Community Information Exchange, held March 14 at the 1917 Club on post.

“The Community Information Exchange is just one of the ways you can find what’s happening here at Fort Jackson,” said Col. Timothy Hickman, garrison commander, in a video address to the community.

Information about the installation can also be found on the post’s social media pages, in the Fort Jackson Leader, and on the website: home.army.mil/jackson.

Josh Soldan, director of Fort Jackson’s Directorate of Family, and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, followed Hickman’s address by highlighting some of the post’s recent accomplishments including the Education Fair, Education Center grand reopening, blood drive and the installation civilians of the year.

He then updated the community on upcoming events. Some of those events are:

Olympic Weightlifting Meet – March 22

Spring Family Campout – March 22-23

Easter Egg Hunt – April 19

Drug Take Back Day – April 22

Youth Fishing Derby – April 25
