Chief Historian's Report: New Executive Committee Transition, Part 2

by Commander Eugene Sanford

(Email received on Sunday December 16, 2007)

Monday December 17, 2007

Commander Eugene Sanford received another email from team@sfimembersmatter.org, regarding the new objectives for the incoming EC. With permission from the CS-Elect, this information is available for distribution to share with other fellow fleeters, fellow chapter members, and can be cross-posted to the appropriate lists:

The following objectives have been listed by the new EC assuming office in 2 1/2 weeks after Christmas:

Commander, STARFLEET-Elect: Fleet Admiral Sal Lizard -Has been discussing transition issues with the current EC through ECPrivate-I and have been in contact with Les[Rickard] and Mark [Anbinder] by phone. And my Chief of Staff has been working with Greg Trotter, the current CS-Chief of Staff. All members of the incoming EC should have the appropriate database access to become familiar with the DB tools that they will need when we take our new posts in2 1/2 weeks.

Staffing announcements will include:

Public Relations Officer: Jerome Conner, Orientation Officer: Teresa Remaly, and

Personnel Officer: ADM Dennis Gray

Vice Commander, STARFLEET-Elect: Vice Admiral Garrick Halverson - "I am continuing to tweek the organization flow within the VCS Department. One of the difficulties we are encountering is there are many FRC Departments that are either inactive or hidden within STARFLEET itself. We are working on making it easier to locate these departments and are redefined their roles in order to bring more value to the membership. Bran Stimpson is hard at work getting the Help Desk up to speed and the trio of Marlene Miller, Sherry Anne Newell, and Helen Pawlowski are contacting international members and chapters to increase their morale.

My staffing announcements are:

Policy Advisor: Ron Bishop, Communications Director: Mike Soucy, and

International Charities Director - Alejandro L. Barreiro Agrelo

Chief of Operations-Elect: Vice Admiral Michael Urvand - "I have not received a response back from one member of the current Chapter Care Team. Lucy Ferron has agreed stay aboard, but Mark Hanford regretfully has decided to step down from his post as director. I have someone in mind, but haven't yet contacted him yet. I have conferred with Admiral Michelle Fanelli about her replacement as Head of Correspondence Chapter Operations, and have tendered an offer to someone, but am waiting for a definite acceptance of the appointment before I make an announcement. Kim Donohoe has been working with Commodore Steven Bowers on getting MSR information transferred to her. The Operations Staff has been granted our access into the database and has tested it. So far, so good.

Chief of Communications-Elect: Captain Peter Christian - Peter has received multiple CQ articles from various departments, and continues his efforts to produce the very best CQ STARFLEET ever had.

STARFLEET Academy Commandant-Elect, Admiral Peg Pellerin - The transition is going smooth for the academy due to the lack of any real change or turnover. Peg reports that an article has been submitted to the CQ about upcoming Academy programs.

Chief of Shakedown Operations-Elect: Commodore Warren Price - The transition of information between staff of SHOC is coming along nicely. Contact information was shared between the staff. Jerry and I have worked out how reporting is handled, not just to SFI, but VRR's and what information is needed. Both Jerry and myself will be dividing the VRR Report procedure, each doing some portion of it. Jerry will be making the announcement regarding all mail needs to go to me later near the end of the month. That is about it for now.

Chief of Computer Operations-Elect: Lieutenant Matt Moyer - Plans are in place to receive web access this weekend. I also do have my administrative access to the database, and have been learning the tools, and asking Sal questions when I have them. I can now start getting packages prepared for several departments that need some things taken care of such as the HelpDesk. Once we have the backend access to SFI's server, I have people standing by to help deal with the DB issues. So for now that's about all I have because until I have full access to everything I can not access our current situation, and evaluate our resources to develop action items going forward.

As Chief Historian, I will continue to send more reports on our new incoming EC, along with the progress of my department aboard Top Gun, and the progress of the new regional department that I am currently working on.

Merry Christmas to everyone aboard our elite starship, and may we have many more journeys into the new year.

End Transmission.

Chief Historian's Report: New Executive Committee Transition, Part 1

by Commander Eugene Sanford

Sunday December 15, 2007

Commander Sanford received an email from the CS-Elect. A new link was created by Sal Lizard, the newly-elected Commander, STARFLEET, allowing others to view a new live journal, and invites everyone to express their opinion about Membership Processing. The Chief Historian has forwarded this information to the CO/XO of the Starship Top Gun. The CS-Elect has granted permission for everyone to view this journal. Though this is not official yet, the main objective is to keep everyone informed. The link to this site is: http://sallizard.livejournal.com.

Fleet Captain Dean Rogers, CO of the USS Top Gun, emails everyone about the latest episode of "Starship Farragut." He portrays the helmsman of the Starship Farragut, Ensign Roy Morris. The Chief Historian has viewed this episode, "1A-002, For Want Of A Nail." The CO was in the driver's seat aboard the Farragut. Commander Sanford continued to gather more information on the current RC for records management. The ship's timeline has been upgraded per the birthday announcement of our crewmembers aboard Top Gun. Information has been download and saved on the TG Listserve regarding future camping trips for next year.

Another email was sent from the CS-Elect, Admiral Sal Lizard. He has made his choice for Chief of Staff during the new administration: Vice Admiral Sam Black. Admiral Lizard has been in contact with Les, and has been asked to find someone to replace him as Registered Agent for STARFLEET. That person is Frank Parker, a native of North Carolina. In preparation for his new role, Sam has tendered his resignation as Vice Regional Coordinator of Region Three, the SFA's Academy Scholarship Director, and STARFLEET's Judge Advocate General Officer so that he may focus on his new duties as Chief of Staff.

Sal has also asked Pete Mahoney to stay on as the SFI Quartermaster, and Kris Klufas to remain in the Promotions Director department. He has also consulted with General Mark Anbinder to see if he will remain IC Liason.

The following personnel listed is already filled, or will be announced later per Sal:

Garrick Halverson is the VCS-Elect, and has chosen Bob McCann. Commodore Robert McCann served in STARFLEET Academy as the new Assistant Webmaster. Garrick is bringing the VCS Department up to full speed. Since the election, he has touched basis with his staff, has written job descriptions and has placed Brad Stimpson as the new HelpDesk Administrator. He will continue to use Admiral Marlene Miller to head up the Annual Campaign with Admirals Helen Pawlowski and Sherry Anne Newell. Garrick has already challenged Sal, as he has presented Peter with 5 CQ articles, and Sal still has to write his first one. The next report will have more information on Gary's new department.

Vice Admiral Mike Urvand is the new Chief of Operations-Elect, and has chosen Rear Admiral Kim Donohoe as his Vice Chief of Operations. Mike has resigned from his position as the Regional Coordinator for Region Five, to become the Chief of Operations.

Captain Peter Christian, Communications Chief-Elect, has chosen William Schnitger as his Vice Chief. From Peter's notes: "There has been quite a bit going on with the Communications transition. Has also exchanged information with Commodore Dixie Halber, and is currently awaiting a list of information from her, as well as several pieces of equipment that must be transferred into his charge. Peter has already started the initial planning stages with Unicorn for issue #145 of the CQ. Will update more in the next couple of days, but submissions are welcomed at peter@trinitydesignconsulting.com, until Unicorn takes charge of thecq@sfi.org address.

Admiral Peg Pellerin, SFA Commandant-Elect, has chosen Admiral Carolyn Thompson, director of SFMC's Marine Unit Readiness Program, and SFA's Vessel Readiness Certification Program. Peg claims to have the easiest transition as Carol Thompson remains in her Vice-Dant position, and Wayne Kilough heads up the Academy Support Services. The Admiral herself states:

"Things were pretty hectic for a few days, but things are smoothing out. I've lost a couple of people, one to Sal, and one to Gary, but we'll have to find someone, and we will, hopefully as good as these two guys took. Wayne, Carol, and myself are working very well in getting things ready for January 1. I'm confident with their assistance, that everything will go well. They're great to work with, and I already feel the team we are and should be."

Commodore Warren Price. Shakedown Operations Chief-Elect, has chosen Rear Admiral Jerry Tien as his Vice-Chief. Admiral Tien was one of several senior officers who was instrumental in finalizing the paperwork for the commissioning of the Starship Top Gun. Like Peg, Warren has a smooth transition, as there is very little staffing changes, and is keeping Joost and Alex in their current roles. Warren has presented a list of SHOC projects, but I haven't yet had an opportunity to read over them.

Lieutenant Matt Moyer, Computer Operations Chief-Elect, has chosen Commodore Robert (Bob) Chin as his Vice-Chief.

"From his last discussion with Matt, I think that he's waiting to make contact with CompOps. He is currently working with Membership Processing to train another team and waiting for access to the database."

Matt's notes indicate:

"I am indeed keenly aware of the DB issues, I've been watching the lists closely. This will definitely be priority one on my list."

Colonel Mike Stein, current Region 7 Chief Financial Officer/CFO-Elect, has chosen Admiral Pat Spillers as his Vice Chief of Finances. Admiral Spillers was the previous CFO of STARFLEET. Mike is in communication with Commodore Liz Woolf, and is working to gain a complete understanding of the financial condition of STARFLEET.

Chief Historian's Report #1: STARFLEET Update Podcast 9

STARFLEET Update Podcast #9

as transcribed by Commander Eugene Sanford

Hosted by Rear Admiral JC Cohen, CO, USS Accord

Friday November 23, 2007

(Download posted on SFI Website - Wednesday November 21, 2007)

The latest edition of the SFI Podcast Update began with the opening them from the original star trek series. RADM JC Cohen does the podcast solo, as Larry Barnes, his co-host does his day job to prevent a campus-wide blackout.

Your new Commander, STARFLEET is Sal Lizard and Garrick Halverson.
They will be the next leaders in STARFLEET Heaquarters for the next three years. JC admits that he was wrong about the percentage. Sal wins with a very healthy statement of support. Four amendments were voted on, and passed with an overwhelming majority. All passed with great amounts. 1083 votes in the election.
If you have any questions, email the CS as these amendments go into effect immediately.

Larry Barnes and JC Cohen express an invite to the CS-Elect and VCS-Elect to do a podcast. Listeners can get a chance to speak their minds, give plans for the next three years, as well as listen to the other three candidates. Others can get a chance to express their views, opinions, and any suggestions.Contact the podcast team at sfi.org to request an appearance on the show. Record a short question, email a text, etc.

The incoming Executive Committee will take effect on January 1, 2008.

The following people are the members of the incoming EC:
Sal Lizard has been in fleet for 15 years and has held regional and international positions in fleet, of which one was the VCS. Garrick Halverson has been the Regional Coordinator for Region 15 for two terms. He has been and currently is the CO of his chapter, and has worked with others on the fleet level. Mike Urvand , currently the RC for Region 6, is the incoming Chief of Operations. "It is the easiest job on the EC, but the hardest to do well". He is prepared to work with Operations and has a number of ideas on how to begin. The COC was Peter Christiansen. He is the XO of the USS Thermopylae, is the producer of "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men", Peg Pellerin was selected as the Academy Commandant. Peg is a Special Education Technician, and will deal with the needs of the Academy. Warren Price is in charge of Shakedown Operations, is CO of the USS Providence, Region 1 Vice Regional Coordinator Administration for Bill Herrmann as Region 1 Regional Coordinator, and is a publications officer for the regional newsletter. Also from R1 is Sal's Chief of Computer Operations which will be Matt Moyer, Chief Engineer of the USS Liberator, who has been RDC of Engineering, and Senior Treasurer for Region 1. Matt has a background for this field, and also serves on the board. Lastly, Mike Stein will be the new CFO and is also the XO of the USS Justice, which is making its own video series. He has 20 years of corporate financial experience and has a background in Accounting.

This is the EC that we will see for the next three years. Each team that ran for office had their own ideas for some of the issues pertaining to STARFLEET. Membership attitude towards each other was one of those issues. Another team thought that the financial crunch in fleet was another big issue. STARFLEET will pull together and face these issues as a team. Few people have announced that they will quit as a result of the election results given in the election. There's no real excuse to quit STARFLEET. You need to think about it before making it a final decision, instead of making a hasty decision. Take some time to think about it. Work within SFI and see if you can make sure the decisions meet your needs. If you do not agree with the leader, you are attacking the leader. Never, ever be afraid to question the position which has flaws.

Larry was unavailable this evening.
Hopefully this weekend, another podcast will be given with a guest. This podcast, in the future (at this point), will be on an irregular schedule from now on. There will be a down time, or such, as there is real life involved. We will see. JC reinterates the invites to Sal and his team, and others to see if they wish to attend.

The podcast signs off.

Event Planning for 2008

Greets All!

For the next month, the Operations Department will be actively seeking ideas from all members of the Top Gun for events and activities they would like to plan over the next year. We would like to have a basic schedule for activities out by January 15th, but will continue to accept ideas and schedule them throughout the year.

Some of the activities that have been submitted are:

Cabin Camping (roughing it with a kitchen, bath and showers in cabin)
AidsWalk (in different locales)
Day trip: Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground
Day trip: Baltimore's Inner Harbor
Day trip: Smithsonian's NASM : DC and Dulles
Day trip: Scuplture Garden Ice Skating and Scavenger Hunt ((in January))

Monthly:
Game night
Movie rental night

Yearly:
Holiday Party
Commissioning Party
Project (something everyone could work on together)


Please submit other ideas to the Top Gun yahoo group (ncc75029 at yahoo dot com)

Thanks!

Who's attending the Holiday Party?

We really don't know yet.

We have about ten people confirmed to go to the party, which is decent, but we would really like to see a bit more then that. Because of our few numbers, we have had to change our plans for the Holiday Party to be a Luncheon instead of a buffet. This does not mean we will not have an enjoyable time, but that some members will not be joining us there.

If you are working during Saturday afternoon, please join us for a games night on Friday evening or spend some time with us Saturday morning or evening. We have tried to allow people working to join us by staggering activities around the Luncheon. Some things are really inexpensive, like sitting around and playing board and card games of strategy and sharing some snacks and sodas at the hotel, or piling in a car for a driving light show. Others are fixed in their price, like the Academy Tour for $8 or going to see a matinée showing of "I am Legend".

If you have a friend on the Top Gun you don't know what you would give them for a present (if you want to) then offer to pay for them to go see a movie... or treat them to the Luncheon... or pay for their ticket to go on the Academy tour. This weekend is also a good way to be able to meet and get to know other people in the chapter.

We also have different ways of celebrating this time of the year. Let's get the chance to learn more about each other, and enjoy the things that make us different, and the same. IDIC.

It would really be great to see many crewmates during the weekend!
