Hi Team, I want to reaffirm my commitment and our collective responsibility to ensure an inclusive, respectful, and supportive environment for every member of the Rhode Island Wing. Civil Air Patrol offers an incredible program filled with opportunities to grow, serve, and lead. Every member, regardless of background, should have the opportunity to participate and thrive. It is not only our policy but also my personal philosophy that equal opportunity is a cornerstone of our success. I believe it is fundamentally disrespectful and contrary to our core values when any member impedes another’s ability to engage in or benefit from our programs. That behavior will not be tolerated. We are stronger when we lift each other up, not when we create obstacles. My door is always open. If you ever feel your ability to participate fully is hindered in any way, please let me know. We will address concerns with fairness, discretion, and urgency. Let’s continue to uphold the spirit of the Civil Air Patrol by supporting one another and ensuring that every member has the opportunity to excel.

Carpe diem,

Col Stan Skrabut

Rhode Island Wing Interim Commander
