Relocating to Alabama will probably cut that list down. A lot!

^^ But the COO could almost certainly authorize telecommuting, wouldn't you think?

CAP HQ will be moving to Tyndall next FY, so all bets are off.

So, the COO is gone, and now I've heard the CFO, Susan Easter, resigned. What is going on at the conference?  Nashville must be a hopping place...

I called NHQ and was told that Susan Easter is still there, no resignation.

Yes, she is still there, however she put in her notice 3 weeks ago.  I have not asked her when her last day will be.

Just heard from our CFO, Susan Easter.  She is not leaving her position "now".  I'm sure this is a relief for the BoG and our interim COO, John Salvador...

I got excited...

Q:   Is the National Headquarters moving to Tyndall AFB, FL, the home of 1AF?
A:  No.  One of the conditions for realignment was for HQ CAP-USAF to remain at Maxwell AFB, AL.  Since both CAP and CAP-USAF headquarters work closely for mission success, CAP's National Headquarters will also remain at Maxwell.[/size]

ROWLAND TO RECEIVE CAP LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP

http://capvolunteernow.com/todays-features/?rowland_to_receive_cap_lifetime_membership&show=news&newsID=22330

"Don Rowland, after providing more than three decades of dedicated service at Civil Air Patrol National Headquarters, will be honored and recognized with a Lifetime Membership in CAP.

The announcement was made by CAP's national commander, Maj. Gen. Joe Vazquez, during the organization's annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

"Life Membership is one of the highest honors in Civil Air Patrol," Vazquez told CAP members attending the General Assembly Aug. 12.   

"Life membership is a small token of CAP's appreciation for the many contributions [he has] made to our success over the last 31 years," he said.

Rowland announced his retirement Aug. 10 as CAP's top paid executive at National Headquarters at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. He served 11 years, initially as executive director and later as chief operating officer.

His retirement concluded a distinguished 31-year career with CAP, starting with his CAP-USAF staff position in 1985. After a 23-year U.S. Air Force career, "Don joined CAP as one of our first true corporate employees and was instrumental in developing our early Counterdrug Program," Vazquez said.

Rowland served in a number of positions after that, including director of plans and requirements, director of strategic communications and plans and senior director.

"During his tenure many positive changes have come to CAP," Vazquez said, citing:

Improved overall financial status, including CAP's first of seven unqualified audits and introduction of the Wing Banker Program;

Establishment of the Wing Administrator program, providing paid employees to support each wing for the first time ever; and

The conversion from an in-house supply store to a partnership with Vanguard Industries, which provided additional support for cadet activities at the wing, region and national levels and upgrades of corporate-owned facilities; 
"The advancements in technology and missions during Don's service are also noteworthy," the national commander said.

"Additional missions like Green Flag and Falcon Virgo have brought much-needed attention to CAP's capabilities. The establishment of our consolidated maintenance program made a significant impact on our ability to remain mission ready, and our transition to the glass cockpit ensured members had the most up- to-date equipment," he said."

Well, if HQ CAP moves to Tyndall, at least it's still in Alabama.

Yes, I live in Florida. I know, I know. But everything north of I-4 is just The South.

When I was in Group I, the Group CC submitted quarterly requests to be reassigned to ALWG. Was easier to go to PD, etc in ALWG then FLWG. And as a panhandle native we used FLA on our addresses for years for Formerly Lower Alabama.
