Washington, D.C. 20024 202.554.7753 Dear Fellow Warrants: During this past week I had the honor and privilege to go to the Chief Warrants and Warrant Officers Association Annual meeting. Saturday night I was officially sworn in as your newest Vice President. With this role and responsibility I am now fully engaged in making the most of our organization and bringing membership to its highest levels. Membership did very well over the past year but much of that was drastically diminished by failed setup of allotments. I will not be able to increase interest and preach the warrant officer association driving factors without each and every one of you helping me within your local areas. We need to take the time to reach out to our new appointee’s, and our active duty and explain to them how much good this association does and how much their support does to help this association continue its mission. In support of increasing and maintaining membership over the foreseeable future I challenge you to the following: Every association member in good standing attempt to register one new member. Create or install an active duty membership representative at each chapter. This will be a person that can keep up with the local membership, represent the association to new members/appointees, and work with the Chief Warrant and Warrant Officers Association to reach out to members at large. My goal here is to not send these new warrants to Chief Warrant Officer Professional Development (CWOPD) in order to learn about our association and possibly join. I want to send them to CWOPD having already joined and ready to help support those that have not yet joined. This is your association, our association. In order for it to thrive and grow we will need for all members to help out and together make this the most influential and insightful association within the Coast Guard.
