Since enrolling on 12 MAY 2011, Alexis Melnick has taken and passed her Boating Safety Course, ICS 100, 200, 700 and 800. She has taken all of her qualifying workshops and tests including but not limited to Pilot Test A and B, obtained her BQ Status and Direct Operational Waiver and begun her qualification process to obtain her Air Observer rating. Additionally she has become a mentor in her Flotilla and has assisted the Flotilla Commander and his Vice Commander as well as the Flotilla Staff Officer – Member Training in shepherding fellow members through the qualification process. In doing so, seven new members have been able to prepare for, take and pass the same qualifying exams and begin their Air Ops training. Alexis has also successfully recruited a New Member and has availed herself to Division 12 in the role as Staff Officer – Publications. She has accomplished all of this within eight months of becoming a member. It is for these reasons that Alexis Melnick has been nominated as New Auxiliarist of the Year and that she is welcomed aboard to the Division Staff as our new Publications Officer.
Many of you within the Division are doing a great many things that are note worthy. Please send that information to Alexis and I with pictures if available so that everyone in the Division, District, National as well as the civilian populace who view our site can see who we are and what we do. WE ARE D12! WE ARE FIRST SOUTHERN! And WE ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!
