I can't be sure that it's totally original, but the following was new to me.

While visiting the Ohio Wing HQ recently, I had the opportunity to observe what was essentially a wing-wide Cadet Program meeting. With the permission of the OH/DCP, Capt. Rob Goodreau, I have included below his preparatory memo and attached the subsequent powepoint summary.
Congratulations to Rob on a job well done.
If anyone else has ideas worth sharing, I'd be happy to to pass them on.

Extract from an e-mail to Ohio Wing

Cadet Programs leaders,

The Vice Commander recently sent an email to all Group Commanders stating "In conjunction with the commanders call there will be a squadron cadet commanders call. Since all unit commanders are required to attend this meeting all cadet and composite unit commanders are directed to bring their squadron cadet commander with them. There will also be a meeting for all squadron and group cadet program officers. It is extremely important that we get the requested participation from all." The meeting will be at Ohio Wing HQ (lunch will be provided) -- it will be a combined meeting for all cadet programs personnel. Below is an agenda of what will be discussed (discussion... not briefing...):

State of the Cadet Program
CAC & Cadet Working Group
Cadet Flight Training Program
CP Calendar Review
Encampment
Proposed Cadet Conference
Programs/Tools Under Development
DCP Transition
Open Discussion (topics: SDAs, Phase IV cadet involvement, Squadron/Flight/Group/Wing interaction, Cadet Staff assignments, others)
Cadet-only Forum (time permitting)
Teambuilding (time permitting)

I expect to be able to provide some read-ahead material a couple days or so beforehand, so check the wing website for updates as the date gets closer.

Thanks!

ROBERT J. GOODREAU, Capt, CAP
Director of Cadet Programs, Ohio Wing
