Nassef, the Protestant Chaplain at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, will receive the honor during a special awards luncheon July 25 at the ROA's National Convention in Long Beach, California.
Nassef is the individual mobilization augmentee to the branch chief, Cadet Plans and Programs at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and is currently serving an extended active duty tour at Dyess AFB, as the 7th Bomb Wing Maintenance Group and Medical Group chaplain.
In the past year, she has worked with the office of the Air Force Reserve Command Chaplain at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, where she oversaw 53 geographically separated chaplain recruiters and processed 100 IMA chaplain and chaplain candidate inquiries, vetting potential accessions; was the liaison with the Air Reserve Personnel Center, Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, where she streamlined total force integrations processes to provide a pre-qualified recall pool of chaplains to the AFRC commander.
According to her official biography, she was requested by the Air Force Global Strike Command chaplain to provide manning assistance at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, last winter in response to the missileer cheating scandal. Nassef led a four-person team to develop an interactive ethical decision-making and stress resiliency curriculum that is being adapted for use in non-commissioned and company grade officer training throughout the Air Force.
The chaplain of the year award, which rotates among the military services, was established in honor of Chaplain (Lt.) Vincent Robert Capodono and is presented annually to the chaplain "selected for extraordinary contribution to the welfare, morale and effectiveness of the military reserve services" according to the ROA.
