Travel
to new ports and learn new
things
Advanced
Public Affairs (PA) and
Publications
(PB) Training
Offered
at Spring Conference
We've
arranged for the Aux 12 C School to be held at
Conference.
What
does this mean to me?
You
have the opportunity to receive top-notch
training.
You can
receive the same public affairs and publication education that the
Coast Guard receives. You will be trained in dealing with the media;
developing effective interview techniques; being on-camera; handling
press conferences; creating press releases for news and feature
stories; obtaining additional publicity for the Auxiliary;
organizing your thoughts for presentations; taking effective photos
and video; and interacting within the Auxiliary, Coast Guard Public
Affairs and the media. You will learn how to make a difference in
every area of the flotilla's
activities.
Who
Should Attend?
If
you are receiving this email, you should attend.
This
class is open to all members of the Aux. It is highly
recommended for any elected official who wants to move up because it
trains you to speak before the flotillas, organize your thoughts
and work efficiently. Priority is given to PA and PB officers,
elected officers then to any Auxiliary member. Class size is
limited. Please encourage members in your areas to attend this
important class.
The
District pays for your hotel and transportation.
It is
possible that you may be funded if you live more than 50 miles from
the conference and qualify. Fuel receipts and 2 nights at the hotel
may be reimbursed. You will be responsible for contacting the hotel
directly to make your reservations. Remember that when you are
funded, you are expected to attend both the banquet on Saturday and
the Friday night fun night. Funding is limited to 25 participants.
You will receive an email that your funding is
confirmed.
On a
personal note....
Attending made a huge
difference to me.
I
attended this class several years ago and it changed my whole
experience with the Aux. I cannot recommend it highly
enough.
Your
District Officers want to see every PA and PB position filled with
people who are trained, inspired and excited about contributing to
the Auxiliary. You can help by attending this school and
encouraging others to attend, too. Thanks for your
support.
