Info On The Next Meeting

The next meeting for the CSRA CPOA will be Tuesday, 16 March, at 1130 in Godfather's Pizza on Ft. Gordon. Pizza will be provided so come on out and hang with your fellow Chiefs, both active and retired, in the CSRA.

Top on the discussion list will be future meeting locations/times. Do we want to rotate locations and times? Or do we prefer to have one fixed location/time? Are we better off meeting at the beginning, middle, or end of the month? What days are best? Come with your inputs in mind so we can make the best decision possible. If you're an initiated Chief Petty Officer in the CSRA, active or retired, and you'd like to be involved but can't make this meeting, place your comments/inputs here on the blog, post them on our Facebook page, or email them to CSRACPOA@gmail.com so I can bring them to the table for you on the 16th.

We'll also be discussing our plans for 2010, such as membership drive efforts, dues, the kind of activities we would like to engage in (and those we do not intend to involve ourselves in). And hopefully, we'll be looking fill some much needed positions: 

• Secretary-Keep the minutes and build/update the CPOA social roster.

• Technical Director-Set up/maintain a CSRA CPOA webpage (both on the regular web and on high side at work) and email aliases on the low and high side.

• Membership Drive Committee Chair- Create and post CSRA CPOA flyers on base and around key locations in the local community, come up with any other creative methods to reach out to the active and retired Chief Petty Officers in the CSRA, welcome new members at the meetings and collect dues.

• Community Services Committee Chair- Establish CPOA involvement in various community services.

I'm hoping we'll be able to get through the business part of this meeting quickly and get to the socializing, but this particular meeting will probably be the most important one as far as the discussion of what's next. 

Hope to see everyone there!

V/r,

Derek Beck

President, CSRA CPOA
