SLO (State Liaison Officer) Handbook Released 

The Boating Department has just released the second edition of the State
Liaison Officer (SLO) Handbook.  The handbook will be posted on the Boating
Departments website at: HYPERLINK
"http://www.uscgaux.org/%7Eboating"http://www.uscgaux.org/~boating.  SLOs
are responsible for coordinating all activities between the states and the
USCGAUX.  For that reason, we hope that all Aux members become familiar with
the SLO responsibilities within this handbook so as to be able to work
effectively with their respective state SLO, when any state issues become
known or need to be addressed

CG All Flags Auxiliary Conference Brief

In November, National Commodore Gene M. Seibert shared with the assembled
Coast Guard flag officers the Auxiliary's new direction and provided them
with his expectations for the first 100 days following the Auxiliary's
change of watch.  It was through the national Vision, Mission, and Strategic
Imperatives, that a new course for the Coast Guard Auxiliary had been set.
And on this course, the Auxiliary continues to move into new and uncharted
areas of responsibilities.  His report at the May 2005 flag officers
conference brings them to date and charts the course for the next 100 days.

May 2005 Diversity Council Report to NACO

The gathering of 25 Diversity Advisory Council members from USCG active
duty, reserve, Auxiliary and civilian forces were charged at their first
meeting to investigate, research, and gather data on the diversity issues
all Coast Guard workforces that were felt to jeopardize the Coast Guard from
being the Employer of Choice.  Within a few days they were to prioritize
those issues into a report/presentation and deliver it to the Commandant and
the other flag officers.  Auxiliarist Donald C. Lloyd, DVC-PD, sent this
report on those activities to the National Commodore.
