[CAP-PAO] Is this list still active?

[Michael Marek]

Hello, Anthony,

There is new staff in public affairs at national HQ, and at that level 
the directorate is being treated much more as comprehensive marketing 
communications. Social media, of course, is a big emphasis, as is the 
CAP "brand."

I am on the closed Facebook group for PAOs and occasionally post to it.  
The volunteer PA leadership is there.  Not having looked at the 
subscription list recently (we have around 200 email addresses still 
subscribed), I am not sure that any of that leadership is here.

How about thoughts from the other people subscribed?  There is no 
intention to CLOSE this list, but what do you think our mission should 
be, going forward?  What role can we fill?
