West Virginia Wing wins safety connection

Wing Headquarters --  The final results of the Middle East Region Civil Air Patrol Winter Safety Connection Program are in.  All Wings participated, with the overall program effectiveness much better than previous safety blitz programs.

The program reports show that West Virginia Wing and Maryland Wing were essentially tied for the first place position.  To select the first place winner, it was necessary to use the optional criteria to make the choice between the two wings.  

West Virginia Wing was selected based on the imagination and creativity demonstrated in the development of a web-based method to provide a virtual version of the Connection to Safety program so that all members could participate, even those who might have missed the program at their local squadrons.  

West Virginia will receive a prize of $350.00 for use in their safety programs.   Maryland will receive $150.00.

"I want to thank Captain Brian Shatzer, Wing Safety Officer, for his outstanding efforts in directing the effort and compiling the results.  Also, I want to thank Lt Mark Shatzer for developing the WV Wing Safety website.  Both did an outstanding job." said Wing Commander Col Rodney Moore.
 
The website is located at:  www.wvsafety.com Monthly safety updates are posted. 
 
Moore said the Wing is performing very well in the safety area so far this fiscal year.  "Let's continue to use operational risk management (ORM) in all of our operations.  The winter season is upon us, with cold temperatures and snowy conditions, so let's continually assess our operations with those environmental factors in mind.  Each unit should consider an adverse weather conditions policy for their scheduled meetings, if a policy is not already in place." said Moore.
