Member Training Is Essential ! • Begin with yourself! • DSO-MS requests that all MS Staff Officers take IMSEP, Good Mate and ICS 100, 200, 700 & 800 online to have minimal knowledge of MS/MEP. • Provide Flotilla training in MS/MEP areas and opportunities to members. • Encourage participation in MS/MEP activities. Lead by example!
Resources for MS/MEP…. • National “P” (Prevention = MS/MEP) Department website found at pdept.cgaux.org – check it out and use it! • Your SO-MS (or Division Staff Officer) and DSO-MS – communicate with them! • The national “P” website – read it – know what is there for you to use! • Trident training program – get involved!
