Meeting Requirements

[Damron]

I'm looking for a reference that describes the minimum required content for meetings (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually).

Its up to the unit. Depends on your focus. Have a lot of pilots? Youre going to be more ops focused than if you have a big cadet program. Lots of best practices can be googled...

Cadet squadron.

I am not looking for common or best practices. I am curious if there is a document describing required meeting content for cadet squadrons.

Nope. Up to the unit.

52-16 sets the requirements for the cadet program.
But as far as I know there is not document that micromanages the meeting to that level.

Yes and no.  There are minimum monthly requirements that you have to meet (see CAPR 52-16 Figure 4-2), but nothing that says you have to have your meeting structured in an exact way.  The Cadet Staff Handbook has some sample meeting agendas if you are interested.

CAPF 2B indicates that you can remove a cadet for "failure to attend three meetings without acceptable excuse."  I couldn't find any regulation to support that statement however.

In my squadron the rule is a cadet must attend 75% of the meetings in the previous 3 months (a rolling clock so to speak).  We use this for promotion purposes in order to be considered an "active participant."

If you are just looking for best practices, the Squadron in a box is always a good starting point.

CAPP 52-15 Cadet Staff Handbook has a great guide for meeting length and schedule content.  Look specifically at pages 13 and 14.  As mentioned before though look at CAPR 52-16 page 13 to ensure your are achieving required contact hours in Leadership, Physical Fitness, Aerospace Education and Character Development.
