To DCs and all communicators:

Some of you may have already noticed, but the Communications Program has
recently established a blog on CAPMembers.com.  You can find the blog at:

   http://www.capmembers.com/emergency_services/communications-blog/

As the initial "Welcome" post notes, one of our biggest challenges in
the Communications Program is making sure CAP members in the field at
unit level understand the WHAT and WHY of policy decisions related to
communications.  This new comm program blog will be an additional way of
reaching a broad audience of people interested in CAP Communications.

The subject matter inspiration will often be questions YOU ask that come
across my desk or issues that come to the attention of the National Comm
Team.  If the answer to a question seems like it would be of interest to
a wider audience, it may be a candidate for a blog post (keeping the
person asking the original question anonymous, of course).

This blog is not directive in nature, but I hope that you will find it
to be a source of good information, ideas and advice.  The blog will not
contain any OpSec information, because it is visible to the general public.

When a new blog entry goes live, we will provide a notification here in
CAP-DC, in the CAP-COMM listserv, and in the CAP-COMM Facebook page.

Many thanks to LtCol Mike Marek, one of our assistant national
communications officers and a member of the National Comm Team, for his
work in creating and maintaining our new blog.  Because of his
background and expertise Mike will be serving as the unofficial Comm
Program PAO.

We hope that you will find this blog to be informative and helpful.  If
you have suggestions for a future blog post, let me know or email Mike
at michael at themareks.com <mailto:michael at themareks.com>.
