CAP CHAIR’S CORNER

A NOTE FROM OUR CAP CHAIR—KEITH KLEMMER

Greetings and welcome to this edition of the NGAUS Corporate Advisory Panel newsletter. As the new CAP chair, I want to first thank Cindy Ramirez, outgoing chair, for her many years of service to NGAUS and the CAP. Cindy presided over the CAP in one of the most challenging periods in the history of NGAUS and I commend her for her leadership, dedication, and resili- ence. At the same time, I want to welcome our newest members and officers to the CAP. We recently added Shannon Shrader, Darn Tough ; Tim Farrell, Veterans4You; and COL (Ret) Charlie Weaver, Airbus Helicopters, as elected members for the 2021-2023 calendar years. Also, the CAP members recently selected Bruce VanSkiver, Collins Aerospace as Vice Chair; Phil Herndon, FLIR as Secretary; and Tricia Callahan, PowerFlare, as Membership Chair. I also appointed new committee chairs for 2021. See the related article in the newsletter.

This quarter’s newsletter is full of very useful information. A number of NGAUS corporate partners attended a successful National Guard Association’s conference over the weekend of 27-28 February 2021. This is the first face-to-face conference among the 54 states, territories, and district. With that in mind, we have included an article about upcom- ing conferences, which incorporates dates, format, and location information as applicable. As in past editions of the newsletter, we have included an updated roster, along with a list of CAP members and officers. We have also included articles on the NGAUS Task Forces along with employment opportunities for our National Guard service members. Be sure to check out the NGAUS 117th Congress Armed Services Committee membership list insert at the end of this document as well as the announcement about the 2021 NGAUS General Conference.

Looking forward to the remainder of 2021, my CAP chair goals are to strengthen corporate member outreach, represent corporate member equities at national-level National Guard conferences, deliver quality educational opportunities to our corporate members, and partner with NGAUS to strengthen corporate governance for the benefit of our CAP and the NGAUS organization as a whole. I remain very upbeat as we move through the spring and into the summer of 2021. I look forward to seeing each of you in person at an event later this year. Until then, stay safe and let me know if I can be of assistance. NGAUS TASK FORCES

The NGAUS Task Force program is integral to the NGAUS legislative effort and can be an im- portant part of the NGAUS corporate partner’s business development plan throughout the year. NGAUS resolutions start with the state-level associations before proceeding to the NGAUS Legislative team. Along the way, the NGAUS Task Forces provide valuable insight to help inform the NGAUS leadership as they review submitted resolutions.

The NGAUS Resolution Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) states that the “task forces are special committees appointed by the Chairman of the Board, with concurrence from the Board of Directors…to work closely with the NGAUS legislative staff to provide input on reso- lutions, fact sheets...advise the general conference committee on resolutions and address special issues…” The NGAUS corporate partners are encouraged to work in concert with state associations through the resolutions process as well as Task Force chairs to provide up to date information on products and services to meet National Guard requirements.

NGAUS currently has 12 Task Forces, including 11 listed in the Task Force SOP and added the Cyber Task Force since published the SOP in 2014. The SOP is available on the NGAUS website at https://www.ngaus.org/sites/default/files/2019-05/Task-Force-SOP-Jan-2014.pdf .

During a recent Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) briefing by the commander, Brig Gen Heather Pringle, she stated that for the future (with COVID and cutbacks on funding) the AFRL is expecting to draw technology out of the private sector vs. military sector at a rate of 80%- 20% respectively. That translates to greater industry involvement in providing solutions to requirements for the warfighter i.e., and the Task Force, coupled with the State Association resolution process, is a great way to highlight products or services that address these require- ments. NGAUS TASK FORCES (CON’T)

NGAUS Task Forces serve as a reviewing entity in support of the overarching NGAUS review of the resolutions submitted by the states. They serve as the Subject Matter Expert for their fo- cus area. They provide a valuable, informed look at resolutions submitted through the state associations. Task Forces are required to understand technology that is coming out of indus- try and match those solutions with military requirements set forth in the Air and Army mod- ernization plans. They are required, per the SOP, to meet at least two times per year. Most of the TF’s meet at the annual NGAUS conference. Interested corporate partners should plan to attend these meetings to gain a better understanding of the Task Force process and priorities. The Task Forces hold other meetings throughout, with some holding additional face-to-face meetings in the spring in order to inform state association conferences resolution processes.

We decided to engage several of the Task Force chairs to get a better idea of how they would prefer to interact with the NGAUS corporate partners and asked a series of questions:  How do you want Industry Partners to interact with your TF i.e., briefings, white papers, etc.  What process you would like industry to follow while interacting? Briefings (time limit), White Papers (how do you input the White Papers to your TF?), Other  Do you have any overarching message that your TF would like to convey to industry?

The following is a summary of the responses:  The Task Force will accept briefings, media, white papers, etc that supports a particular solution to a National Guard requirement, particularly those involving submitted resolutions  Briefings are typically limited to 10 minutes but are regulated by the amount of time available during the meeting  Task Force chairs email addresses are available on the NGAUS website and generally will allow industry to present materials at Task Force meetings if time allows.  Task Force chairs want industry involvement at all stages and industry is encouraged to interface with the Task Force at the NGAUS conference  Task Force will meet at other times and if they need input from industry  Task Force chairs follow the NGAUS SOP regarding frequency, time, place, and provisions that are re- quired at the meetings.

In summary, NGAUS has an approved SOP for the Task Forces. The NGAUS Board Chair ap- points the Task Force chairs. Each chair follows the SOP regarding interaction with corporate partners and their role in the resolutions process. The purpose of the Task Force is to review resolutions, but also provide opportunities for the corporate partners the opportunity to pre- sent information on new and existing technologies. The main take-away is to engage with the Task Forces. Communicate with the Task Forces. Provide up-to-date information on your prod- ucts or services that can help the Task Forces fulfill their role in NGAUS legislative process. STATE CONFERENCES

Now going on its second year, COVID continues to wreak havoc with the state conference schedule. We all – including the Executive Directors (ED’s) and their associations – are anxious to get back to some sort of “normal,” but it appears to be too early in the vaccine rollout pro- cess around the country for many to actually do so.

We advise you to contact the ED of any state you have interest in to get the latest, up-to-date details, and to stay close to them because information is changing quickly. Even if a confer- ence is virtual, there may be ways for a state association to assist its industry partners in find- ing and connecting with the people they wish to reach.

A list of the ED’s and their contact details can be found at https://www.ngaus.org/states- territories/state-association-directory.

***IMPORTANT UPDATE***

Due to gathering limitations in the State of North Carolina, the NGAUS General Conference and Exhibition will not held in Charlotte Sept ember 9-12, 2021. The NGAUS team has recently announced that the 2021 General Conference has moved to the Mandalay Bay Events Center, Las Vegas, August 27-30, 2021

Again, for emphasis, there will be a live and in-person conference.

EANGUS CONFERENCE

The Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the US (EANGUS) will meet in Albuquerque, New Mexico on 8-11 August, 2021. The conference will be an in person conference and as of last week, the Albuquerque Convention Center says things are still a GO. In May, EANGUS and New Mexico will review the situation to determine that there are no setbacks in the ability to have large gatherings.

The site visit will be held 15-16 May.

The EANGUS Conference website is up and the conference prospectus has been published. EANGUS has started assigning booths. Visit https://eangusconference.org/

Also of note, the New Mexico National Guard will have an "Industry Day" on Monday, August 9th during the conference. EANGUS will open their Expo to New Mexico first responders, per- sonnel from Kirkland AFB and others on Monday, August 9th.

For information on individual enlisted State Conferences, industry can visit www.eangus.org and look under Events for a list of State Conferences.

INDUSTRY RESOURCES

“When a business hires a man or woman who is a member of the National Guard, they are hiring a person who possesses all the skills required by our mili- tary: honor, dedication, reliability, and trustworthiness.”

- Mrs. Sally Lengyel, wife of former NGB Chief General Joseph Lengyel

If you are looking to enhance your workforce with proven employees, look no further than the many programs out there designed to connect your HR managers with qualified Guard ap- plicants. There are many excellent reasons why you should consider hiring traditional Guard- speople who work full-time as civilians in their communities. They bring specific skills sets it may be hard for your HR managers to find elsewhere (including security clearances), and they possess attributes highlighted by Mrs. Lengyel above.

Each state and territory has employment liaisons that work with industry. Within a given state, the state association, the G/J9’s Military & Family Readiness Operations unit and the Employer Support Guard and Reserve (ESGR) could be good places to start.

A good example of a state that does more to help its people transition is Pennsylvania. It maintains a jobs board that helps connects Guard members, their spouses, their families and other veterans with civilian employers. This program helps the Guard, too, by increasing re- tention, marital bliss, and critical optics in Guard recruiting. For more information, go to https://pngas.jobboardhq.com/

Another example is North Carolina. The website is www.nc4me.org/employers/. They hold hiring events and leadership summits throughout the year. They also offer accredited HR training. For questions or to express interest, reach out to Sean Cox at [email protected].

Tennessee has a program called the Reserve Component Employment Enhancement Pro- gram (RCEEP), which assists Guard, spouses, and dependent children find employment. Any company that wishes to partner with this program starts by reaching out to the Employment Service Program (ESP). For more information, contact CW4 Lance Jenkins at [email protected] or LTC Chris Messina at [email protected].

Outside of state-specific programs, there are also nationwide initiatives that can support your HR events across the nation and even OCONUS. INDUSTRY RESOURCES (CON’T)

With almost two decades of proven success, the National Guard Employment Network (NGEN) is a nationwide no-cost resource to both industry and Guardspeople, their spouses, their children, and Youth ChalleNGe cadets seeking employment. Industry partners receive unlimited free job postings and customized hiring strategy and support services. NGENs ca- reer specialists deliver job-ready candidates directly to you. For more information, go to www.ngemploymentnetwork.com or contact Danette Hayes at (847)754-8009.

To conclude, employers who take on Guardspeople enjoy the many assets these people bring to their work. They also sacrifice in terms of ‘lending’ these folks back to the military when needed for state or national objectives. For the overwhelming majority of employers, this sac- rifice is well worth it.

To understand more of the value employees from the Guard family can bring to your organiza- tion, reach out to anyone on the CAP. Most of the current representatives have hired military and understand the process - and how what sometimes looks like sacrifice in the short term really benefits your organization overall in the long term.

As Mrs. Lengyel says “We often hear that only 1% of the people in the US serve in the military, and while that is true, many more than that sacrifice in service to their country. Families most of all, but in the case of the National Guard, the employers also sacrifice. I support every pro- gram or initiative that lets employers know we do not take their sacrifice for granted.”

***DID YOU KNOW***

CAP members represent Industry and serve as liaisons to the NGAUS leadership, taking Industry concerns and issues forward and addressing solutions that best represent Industry in their support of the National Guard and NGAUS as a whole.

There will be four open CAP positions for the 2021 NGAUS elections. Continue reading to get to know your current CAP representatives. For more details about CAP, visit: https://www.ngaus.org/about-ngaus/board-directors-committees/corporate-advisory-panel GET TO KNOW YOUR CAP
