This is a great opportunity to increase skills and network with other PAOs in a relaxed and professional environment. This event is being held IAW CAPR 190-1 which requires training for PAOs on an annual basis. The training provided by the event will help to increase the effectiveness of the CAP public affairs program and will assist members in progress leading to the technician, senior, and master level of proficiency in the Public Affairs specialty track.
 
The facility choosen for the workshop is designed as a meeting place for the Airport Authority Board of Directors and is equipped with wireless internet service and a full suite of audio-visual equipment. It has easy access, is secure, comfortably appointed, and well-maintained which makes for an ideal learning environment.

        Southeast Region Director of Public Affairs, Maj. Steven Solomon, CAP

        Former FLWG Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Maj. Grant Meadows, CAP

        Editor of Florida Wing's newsletter Wingspan, 2Lt. David Bellis, CAP

        President/CEO NetWeave Social Networking, 2Lt. Kevin McNulty, CAP

 
 
The focus of topic dicussions and workshop activities will include:
- Success through developing an effective public affairs plan of action.
- Creating better photographs for news stories.
- Working with the media like a pro.
- Developing quality news releases the media can't resist
- Opportunities for success using social media.
 

Just one of these topic sessions would be well worth the travel time and workshop fee. This event is scheduled to feature five topic sessions lead by experts in their field. This is a terrific value for both new and experienced public affairs officers, an opportunity you don't want to miss.

Participants will receive material to take away from the workshop and begin implementing these seeds for success back at their home CAP unit. The workshop will include a photography session and participant are encouraged to bring a digital camera to use in the activity.
