What is Great Lakes Region Staff College?
Leadership Development
The purpose of Great Lakes Region Staff College is to prepare select Civil Air Patrol officers to more effectively execute the duties and responsibilities associated with command and staff positions, and to present concepts, methods, and ideas to better accomplish the Civil Air Patrol’s multiple missions.
Management & Communication
The program emphasizes teamwork and is designed to provide in-depth professional development in leadership, management, oral and written communication, and meeting planning techniques – skills that should prove invaluable not only in ongoing CAP operations, but also in your professional and personal activities.
Who Attends?
