  27. Audit Analysis Unqualified audit of entire CAP organization “A dedicated corporate staff responded with the training and resources to succeed. A command staff responded with the leadership and, ultimately, a diligent army of volunteers responded and made it work. The commitment of these team players has ensured success and illustrated financial accountability to the stakeholders. Witnessing an organization such as CAP emerge over the last few years with an unqualified audit has been one of the highlights of my career.” Billy Daniels, a certified public accountant and certified government financial manager with Wilson, Price, Barranco, Blankenship and Billingsley, P.C.

  28. AF allocated $5+M for complete renovation of the NHQ building in FY09. It will contain a new floor plan, plumbing, wiring, lighting, insulation and HVAC. Plan removes unusable mechanical rooms and original dispensaries left from the building’s original hospital design. New “Heritage Center” will display important CAP documents and artifacts, and provides new conference center. Project is on schedule, with a planned completion date of 25 Jan. Funding does not include furnishings, estimated at $500k. Jan. project completion timing makes end of year funding not possible. Fallback plan is to use current furniture and replace remainder over a 3-year cycle. (one floor per year) NHQ Renovation

Holm Center Realignment CAP-USAF and CAP joined Air University’s Holm Center for Officer Accessions & Citizenship Development Holm Center formerly called AFOATS (ROTC, OTS, JROTC) Effective 11 June 2009 CAP-USAF remains the Air Force program office for the Cooperative Agreement & Statement of Work. Mission approvals remain the same The realignment provides CAP the following benefits: Brig Gen advocate for CAP/CAP-USAF issues Mitigates competing interests, and allows better coordination and combination of curricula Provides a better structure for teaching teamwork, citizenship, discipline, fitness, as well as customs and courtesies Creates opportunities for cadets from each program to attend the same encampments Access to Holm Center facilities (OTS dorms for National Staff College)
