Finance folks welcome new commander

  • Published

Rank/Name: Maj. Dorinda Mazza

Squadron: 71st Comptroller Squadron

Date assumed command: July 18, 2013

Previous assignment: Southwest Asia

Time in service: 10 years

Hobbies: Spending time with family.

Why the squadron is important to the wing mission: No money, no mission! Financially, we support the wing's ability to Develop, Deliver and Deploy. Our responsibility is to be good stewards of tax payer dollars by using limited resources to finance our wing's requirements.

Additionally, our financial experts ensure every member's pay and travel entitlements are accurate; ultimately allowing members to focus on their jobs.

Command philosophy: It's about the institution -- our Air Force, our major command, our wing, our squadron. Do your absolute best. "Do," not "try." Try implies it's OK to give less than 100 percent. Take care of yourself and your family always -- through developing yourself and maintaining work-life balance.

Goals for new position: Build on the Comptroller Squadron's excellent reputation by continuing to provide timely decision support and customer service to Team Vance.
