Hi Team, I would like to take a moment to remind all members of the importance of treating one another with dignity, professionalism, and respect. Civil Air Patrol is built on teamwork, volunteer service, and a shared commitment to developing others and accomplishing our missions. That environment depends on every member feeling valued and respected. Civil Air Patrol maintains a clear nondiscrimination policy that applies to all members, programs, and activities. As outlined in the recent memorandum from National Headquarters, CAP is committed to ensuring that all members are treated with dignity and respect and are afforded equal opportunity and the right to nondiscrimination. All members are encouraged to review CAPR 36-1, Civil Air Patrol Nondiscrimination Programhttps://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/members/publications/indexes-regulations-and-manuals-1700, and familiarize themselves with both the policy and the standards of conduct expected of all CAP personnel. Commanders and leaders at every level are responsible for ensuring that members understand and adhere to these expectations. We all come from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. That diversity strengthens our organization when we approach one another with courtesy, patience, and professionalism. Every member deserves to participate in a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment. Thank you for everything you do for Civil Air Patrol and for helping maintain a positive culture that reflects our Core Values of Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence, and Respect.

Carpe diem,

Col Stan Skrabut

Rhode Island Wing Interim Commander
