Last year around Oct, I was asked by several prominent members of the Base Commanders group, to assume the helm until this years meeting in Duluth.

Some background on the Base Commanders Group as excerpted from the 2002 Proposed Ammendments listing:

The Base Commanders Group (BCG) is a Standing Committee. The purpose of the BCG is to (1) share information helpful to the daily operation of the Bases, (2) consider and debate issues of concern to the organization as a whole, and (3) report recommendations to the Board of Directors via the National Commander. The BCG is an advisory group to the USSVI Board of Directors. Any member who is currently serving as a USSVI Base Commander is automatically a member of the BCG. All National Officers. National Committee Chairmen and Past Base Commanders are invited to participate as non-voting members. Members of the BCG will annually select (1) a Chairman who will represent them directly to the organization’s National Commander; (2) a Moderator for the BCG-BBS; and (3) a BCG Secretary. The method of communication for the BCG may include (but will not be limited to) a BCG newsletter distributed via the Internet POC network and an Internet Forum (BCG-BBS).

INTENT OF AUTHOR: It is in the interest of USSVI that the operation of the Base Commanders Group (BCG) be encouraged as it contains the most interested and future leaders of the organization as a whole. This group also has the collective experience and local contacts to know what needs to be done to improve the organization. To formally recognize the existence of the group and define their advisory role to the Board of Directors through the office of the National Commander.
