PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- The Leadership Development Center provides a quality event center to support official events on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

It’s available for unofficial functions based on availability and can accommodate banquets, conferences, training seminars, promotions, retirements, education/job fairs, and a multitude of other official and unofficial events.

The LDC is mostly used for training and seminars and the staff schedules all events and works with requestors on the set-up of stage, chairs, and tables as needed.

"The LDC was designed to accommodate the shortage of meeting rooms and places to hold conferences here on Peterson AFB. We provide a facility and audio-visual services to help customers with their mission briefing needs," said Jason Al-Jehanni, Air Force Space Command’s lead technician for the LDC. "The LDC's main purpose is training our Airmen to be better leaders for the future challenges of the
Air Force."

Al-Jehanni serves his Airmen by scheduling and prepping the conference rooms in addition to providing general customer service. The AFSPC Presentations Office manages this facility and it’s operated by Al-Jehanni, a nine-year Department of Defense civil service employee.

The LDC is open for use by organizations assigned to Peterson AFB and visiting military organizations temporarily assigned or affiliated with Peterson AFB tenant commands. The center primarily provides unclassified video teleconferencing, phone conferences, dual screen projection and DVD replay capabilities. They can also host some classified and catered events at the requester’s expense. The facility also offers hands-on technical advice to aid with a customer’s event.

To schedule a teleconference, meeting or event, customers can contact the LDC for more information at 719-554-3304/3070. To schedule a video teleconference call AFSPC Presentation Office at 719-554-3093. The LDC’s hours of operation are from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.
