The Resources Department promotes recruitment / retention by administering the Human Resources awards program: NACO Growth Awards (individual, flotilla, division), flotilla / division 50th anniversary recognition and any other needed Human Resources recognition.
We are responsible for the coordination of auxiliary assistance to the Coast Guard Work / Life program and supervise auxiliary involvement in the program. We work on developing and coordinating the Auxiliary Ombudsman Program. We look to develop new programs that will benefit the member or the member’s family. We are looking for volunteers to be ombudsmen.
Realizing communication is one of the best methods of retention; the Resources department supervises the publication of the Human Resources Interchange, which we publish on a regular basis to keep the membership appraised of activities in the Human Resource arena. We welcome articles to add to our publication.
