Wing Chairperson, mentoring several squadrons near you
The province is divided into many ‘Wings’ for administration purposes. Each Wing consists of four or five squadrons. The Wing Chairperson mentors the Sponsor Committee members in each Squadron. This is particularly valuable when sponsor committee members are new to the job. They also act as a liaison between the British Columbia Provincial Committee executive and the squadron.
Training is available, but experience as a cadet, cadet parent, sponsor committee member, or officer would make the job easier.
