Targeted Recruiting
Often CAP Units get new members by them walking in the door after a scattershot newspaper article, or recruiting drive at the mall.
There are many skills we need in Civil Air Patrol. Should we target our recruiting efforts for senior members to fill the needs of the unit and wing? I mean new members who bring to the table a full resume of skills for critical jobs.
What can we do to help relieve our perennial shortage of:
- Information Offficers
- Chaplains
- Prospective Commanders
- Fundraisers
- Administrators
Any ideas on how to attract, and how to retain these folks?
How can we make CAP volunteering attractive to publicists, clergy, business leaders, development executives, and office managers as well as pilots, ground pounders, AE teachers and parents?
