Meet Our Keynote Speaker
During her 30-year active-duty career, Daye rose to Chief Master
Sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the U.S. Air Force. Her
assignments included the Pentagon and military installations in
the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, and South Korea.
Before retiring from active duty in 2013, she served as
Superintendent of Manpower, Personnel, and Services for the
Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency,
overseeing personnel programs for nearly 20,000 service members
across 70 units worldwide.
Daye’s family has deep roots on Kennedy Street and a military
tradition spanning four generations. Her address will encourage
young people to learn the stories behind Perth Amboy’s Hometown
Hero banners and reflect on what service means.
Join us as we honor our veterans and recognize the service and
sacrifices of military families.
