THE REGION ONE'S SENIOR CAPTAIN PROGRAM
The role of the Senior Captains is to help chapters overcome problems that they encounter in the normal course of ship life. Because of their vast command experience, Senior Captains can serve as the sounding board for various problems that chapter CO's encounter. But this is not to belittle the difficult work that they do. In most cases, Senior Captains are trying to solve problems while the situation in question is still evolving and changing. Or to put it in other words: They are trying to clean "stuff" off of the fan blades while the blades are still moving. It is not an easy job. Most of the Senior Captains have some experience, background and/or training in the following areas: conflict resolution, counseling, crisis intervention, effective listening and negotiating skills. All of these are areas that can help in the "heat of battle". Senior Captains will also be working closely with their Section Representative and Regional Command staff on matters that come before them.
The Senior Captain's responsibilities will be:
Keep close contact with chapters in your area.
Work closely with your Section Representative and the Regional Command staff.
Have a good working knowledge of such topics as: Conflict Resolution, Counseling, Crisis Intervention, Effective Listening, Negotiating Skills and above all general chapter operation and command.
Requirements for the Senior Captain position:
Have passed both OTS and OCC.
Be calm and discreet in dealing with problems that come before you.
Be willing and able to travel and meet directly with the chapters in your sector, if time and finances permit.
Because of the nature of work that we are asking Senior Captains to handle, at least one year of command experience is required.
