DAO/SAO News and What's Next

Leadership and Leadership Development continue to be the #1 2010 goal of our Chief Commander Frank Dvorak, SN. Our DAO/SAO course, developed specifically for Administrative Officers, is well underway across the country. Dallas hosted the DAO/SAO Leadership training with more than thirty students which brings our total to nearly 150. Our USPS members are making their reservations for this course in Bellevue, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles (Marina del Rey,) Baltimore (Rockville,) Cleveland (Sandusky,) New York (Poughkeepsie,) and Chicago. See our website www.usps.org/national/ot/ for detailed outlines, venues, faculty and registration.


On 9 October, we will Beta test the new DXO/SXO course for Executive Officers. The DAO/SAO course is a pre-requisite; DB2000 designation and a certificate are part of this new course as well. These two courses focus upon practical leadership skills in USPS. Courses include case studies that address challenges we face in many squadrons. Both courses address realistic topics including attitudes, leadership styles, teambuilding and goal setting. Sections regarding USPS structure and conducting Effective Meetings, round out the program. If you have questions, please contact Stf/C Anita F. Walker, JN at anita5040@bellsouth.net or 954 781 8061
