How does everyone stay in touch with each member of your squadron? Our unit sends out a weekly email updating this weeks actives. What are some other ways you stay in touch. Years ago we used to do a call down, calling each member at home.
Has anyone heard of or use www.remind.com (http://www.remind.com). our school district uses Remind, for all school groups. when my daughter was in marching band, we as parents stayed in touch with their travels and such. The best thing about Remind is that its free, no charge for use. Could we in CAP use this for our members communications. example SQD CDR to all members, Flight Command to flight members etc.
Thoughts???
Email, phone call downs, squadron calendar, weekly announcements. There's really no excuse for not knowing what's going on in our unit, but we inevitably hear "Ummmm...no one told me..."
First, look up the difference between "inter" and "intra"
Facebook. Email. Creating Facebook events, with its own reminders, etc.
Our primary method of communication is email. We also stress checking our website schedule for updates and information, as well as checking the training schedules posted on our forum and inside our meeting room. Furthermore, we use the Remind text message system to send mass blasts out to different groups (cadets, seniors, parents) of what the upcoming agenda is and what to wear.
As said above in another post, there is really no excuse for not knowing. If you didn't know, it's because you didn't listen.

I experimented with Remind, my kids' school uses it too. The cool thing is it allows for the one way communication aspect. Didn't deploy it squadron wide though.
