1. It is my privilege and pleasure to announce that I have appointed Paulette Nedrow to the position of Chief Qualification Examiner (CQEC). She is superbly qualified for this job and her vast operational experience in the Auxiliary boat crew program will help the First Southern continue our progress to better, safer and more professional boat crew operations. 2. Also, I am very pleased to have Steve Trupkin aboard as the Chief Flight Examiner (CFE). As many of you know, Steve's profession is flight examinations for the FAA and I could not be more thrilled to have his experience and professional outlook on such a critical issue as flight safety and training. Our Aviation program is a model for the Auxiliary - Steve is one of the reasons for this renown. 3. The specific job responsibilities for the QCEC and CFE are spelled out in D1SRINST 16792.1, which is posted on my web page. The CQEC and CFE are my direct representatives for all training and qualification issues, via the DQO, in their respective areas of responsibility (boat crew and aviation) , especially as they apply to safety and professionalism. 4. Please join me in welcoming Paulette and Steve aboard! |
